TLDR
In this article, 15 chondrites, including eight carbonaceous chondites, were analyzed for rare earth element abundances by isotope dilution, and the persistence of anomalies in chondritic materials relatively removed from direct condensational processes implies that anomalous components were introduced at a late stage of chondrite formation.

Geochemistry and petrogenesis of late Ediacaran (605-580 Ma) post-collisional alkaline rocks from the Katherina ring complex, south Sinai, Egypt

TL;DR: The Katherina ring complex (KRC) as mentioned in this paper is a typical ring complex of late Neoproterozoic age (605-580 ǫ) which was developed during the final tectono-magmatic stage of the north Arabian-Nubian Shield (ANS) during evolution of the Pan-African crust.

Assessment of rare earth elements, Th and U profile of a site for a potential coal based power plant by instrumental neutron activation analysis

TL;DR: In this article, the compositional trends of rare earth elements (REEs: La, Ce, Nd, Sm, Eu, Tb, Dy, Yb, Lu), Th and U in soil samples collected from a site for a potential coal-based power plant as well as to conduct a preliminary assessment of environmental impact of the proposed power plant in terms of REEs, Th, and U, have analyzed nine soil samples by instrumental neutron activation analysis.

Summary statistics in geochemistry: A study of the performance of robust estimates

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that robust estimates of geochemical data should always include at least the simple median and hinge width, to complement the often misleading mean and standard deviation.

Geochemistry of a Silurian metabentonite and associated apatite from the North Esk Inlier, Pentland Hills

TL;DR: In this paper, geochemical data were presented for an important metabentonite horizon within the Upper Llandovery and early Wenlock succession of the North Esk Inlier of the Pentland Hills.

Synthesis of the Elements in Stars

TL;DR: In this article, a count of the stable and radioactive elements and isotopes is given, and Table I,1 shows that only promethium has not been found in nature, whereas 99 elements are found terrestrially and technetium is found in stars.

Determination of REE, Ba, Fe, Mg, Na and K in carbonaceous and ordinary chondrites

TL;DR: In this paper, the exact determination of REE and Ba abundances in three carbonaceous (Orgueil Cl, Murchison C2 and Allende C3) and seven olivine-bronzite chondrites were carried out by mass spectrometric isotope dilution technique.

A chemical-petrologic classification for the chondritic meteorites.

TL;DR: In this article, a two-dimensional classification grid based on chemical and petrologic subdivisions of chondritic meteorites is proposed, which extends the current chemical subdivisions to account for varying petrolic (implied metamorphic) properties within the primary chemical groups.
