TL;DR: In this article, the authors reported new age data for southern Indian ultrapotassic rocks (kimberlites and lamproites), a controversial topic due to the wide range of published age data and disagreements over the reliability of previously published ages.

TL;DR: New oxygen isotopic measurements of IIEs and H chondrites are indistinguishable as mentioned in this paper, strengthening a possible common origin for these groups and combining oxygen results with mineralogy, the nature of their parent body or bodies can be explored.

TL;DR: The Apollo virtual microscope as mentioned in this paper is an extension of that work designed to be freely available and on-line for a level 2 course, Geology, and a level 3 course Understanding the Continents.
Abstract: The Open University started building virtual microscopes in 1993 when a team of Earth scientists and educational technologists joined together to push the boundaries in the teaching of petrology and optical microscopy. In the last two years we have produced two major new works to support our teaching program – virtual microscopes for a level 2 course, Geology, and a level 3 course Understanding the Continents. The Apollo virtual microscope is an extension of that work designed to be freely available and on-line.

TL;DR: In this article, a detailed oxygen isotope and geochemical study of both the IIE silicate inclusions and H chondrites was conducted, with the aim of investigating further the relationship between the two groups.
Abstract: Introduction: Silicate inclusions have been observed in about half of all currently identified IIE irons (21 specimens) Based mainly on their similar oxygen isotope compositions, a genetic relationship between the IIE irons and H chondrites had been proposed However, this relationship was subsequently questioned due to the limited overlap between laser fluorination data for equilibrated H chondrites and the earlier IIE silicate data We are undertaking a detailed oxygen isotope and geochemical study of both the IIE silicate inclusions and H chondrites, with the aim of investigating further the relationship between the two groups
