Investigations of chondrite genesis and evolution using trace element data produced by ICPMS in conjunction with RNAA
We have developed a fast, simple, and accurate ICPMS method for quantification of 45 elements in cosmochemical samples (chondrites). These elements in conjunction with those of our 14 element RNAA suite cover nearly the entire geo and cosmochemical behavior range. With these methods, we investigate...

We have developed a fast, simple, and accurate ICPMS method for quantification of 45 elements in cosmochemical samples (chondrites).
