TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that the most plausible explanation for the heavier Fe in the Earth and Moon is that both objects grew via processes that involved partial vaporisation leading to kinetic iron isotope fractionation followed by minor loss, consistent with the theory in which the Moon is thought to have originated from a giant impact between the proto-Earth and another planet.

TL;DR: Different dissolution mechanisms cause diverseIron isotope fractionation effects and likely influence the iron isotope signature of natural soil and weathering environments.

TL;DR: In this paper, the concentrations and isotopic composition of Pb have been combined with a selective sequential dissolution procedure to track the distribution of anthropogenic and natural Pb in the soil of semi-arid climate and the penetration pathway of petrol-Pb within the soil profile.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that there are significant variations in the iron isotope compositions (δ57/54Fe) of mantle rocks (0.9‰) and minerals (olivines 0.6‰), with spinels showing the greatest total variation of 1.7

TL;DR: Spinel δ57/54Fe values correlate with relative oxygen fugacity, Fe3+/ΣFe, and chromium number, and provide a proxy of changes in mantle oxidation state, melting, and volatile recycling.
