Rare-earth abundances in chondritic meteorites
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.About:

Metallogenesis of Zn-Pb Carbonate-Hosted Mineralization in the Southeastern Region of the Picos de Europa (Central Northern Spain) Province: Geologic, Fluid Inclusion, and Stable Isotope Studies
TL;DR: The Zn-Pb deposits of the southeastern area of the Picos de Europa province display an epigenetic hydrothermal mineralization of moderate temperature hosted by intensely dolomitized limestones of Carboniferous age as mentioned in this paper.

Rare earth element partition between sphene, apatite and other coexisting minerals of the Kangerdlugssuaq intrusion, E. Greenland
TL;DR: Cumulus apatite, sphene, feldspar, amphibole and biotite from the pulaskite of the Kangerdlugssuaq alkaline intrusion have been analysed for rare earth elements (REE) by instrumental neutron activation analysis.

Abstract: We report on the bulk chemical composition, petrology, oxygen isotopic composition, trace element composition of silicates, and degree of self-irradiation damage on zircon grains of the eucrite Northwest Africa (NWA) 5073 to constrain its formation and postcrystallization thermal history, and to discuss their implications for the geologic history of its parent body. This unequilibrated and unbrecciated meteorite is a new member of the rare Stannern-trend eucrites. It is mainly composed of elongated, zoned pyroxene phenocrysts up to 1.2 cm, plagioclase laths up to 0.3 cm in length, and is rich in mesostasis. The latter contains zircon grains up to 30 μm in diameter, metal, sulfide, tridymite, and Ca-phosphates. Textural observations and silicate compositions, coupled with the occurrence of extraordinary Fe-rich olivine veins that are restricted to large pyroxene laths, indicate that NWA 5073 underwent a complex thermal history. This is also supported by the annealed state of zircon grains inferred from μ-Raman spectroscopic measurements along with U and Th data obtained by electron probe microanalyses.

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.
W. R. Van Schmus,John A. Wood +1 more
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.
