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.

Chemical differentiation of the Earth: the relationship between mantle, continental crust, and oceanic crust

TL;DR: In this paper, the average chemical compositions of the continental crust and the oceanic crust (represented by MORB), normalized to primitive mantle values and plotted as functions of the apparent bulk partition coefficient of each element, form surprisingly simple, complementary concentration patterns.

Sm-Nd isotopic evolution of chondrites

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that none of the analyzed meteorite samples deviated more than 0.5 e-units from a 4.6-AE reference isochron and defined an initial 4.5-AE value for CHUR using the Juvinas data of Lugmair.

Solar-system abundances of the elements

TL;DR: In this paper, the Ogueil Cl meteorite and all previous Cl chondrite analyses were employed to develop a new solar system abundance table, including the standard deviation and number of analyses for each element.

REE, Rb, Sr and Ba Abundances in Yamato (j), (k) and (m) Meteorites

TL;DR: Yamato (j), (k) and (m) meteorites were analyzed for rare earth elements (REE), Rb, Sr and Ba as discussed by the authors, and the results indicated a genetically close association in origin.
