Sutter's Mill dicarboxylic acids as possible tracers of parent‐body alteration processes
Abstract Dicarboxylic acids were searched for in three Sutter's Mill ( SM ) fragments ( SM 2 collected prerain, SM 12, and SM 41) and found to occur almost exclusively as linear species of 3‐ to 14‐carbon long. Between these, concentrations were low, with measured quantities typically less than...
