U-Pb Dating of Phosphate Minerals in a Mesosiderite Tanezrouft 091 and a Brecciated Eucrite Juvinas [#1926]
We performed U-Pb dating of phosphates in a mesosiderite Tanezrouft 091 and basaltic eucrite Juvinas, which provide collisional history of Vesta.

Eucrite-Melt Breccia Jikharra 001: A Potential Window for Understanding the Petrogenesis of Ferroan Anomalous Eucrites [#1017]
Petrology and mineralogy of Jikharra 001 and possible implications on the petrogenesis of ferroan anomalous eucrites.

Fayalite in Polymict Eucrite Northwest Africa 6414: Evidence of Metasomatism and Fayalite-Bearing Magmas on the HED Parent Body? [#1492]
Both primary and secondary fayalite are identified in NWA 6414, giving insight into magmatic and metasomatic processes on the HED parent body.

Raman Imaging of Carbon Phases in Very-Low-Shock Ureilite ALH A78019 [#1424]
Raman imaging of carbon in low-shock ureilite ALHA78109 shows no diamond. This supports the impact shock hypothesis for the origin of diamonds in ureilites.

Gyarub Zangbo: An Anomalous Carbonaceous Pallasite [#1183]
The mineral chemistry, O and Cr isotopes of olivine, and metal phase chemistry distinguish Gyarub Zangbo as an anomalous carbonaceous pallasite.

Constraining Volatile Element Loss Processes by Germanium Isotopes in Iron Meteorites [#1928]
Ge isotope data of variably volatile depleted iron meteorites and degassing experiments provide constraints on the origin of planetary-scale volatile depletion.

Partitioning of Highly Siderophile Elements Between Sulfide-, Metal- and Silicate Melts: The Effects of Cu and Ni and Implications for Planetary Differentiation [#1429]
High pressure/temperature experiments were used to constrain the effects of Cu and Ni in sulfide liquid on the partitioning of highly siderophile elements.

Oxygen Isotopic Compositions of Igneous CAIs from CK3 Chondrites [#1579]
Igneous CAIs in CK3s experienced metasomatic alteration and O-isotope exchange with an 16O-poor aqueous fluid that affected Ti-rich pyroxenes and anorthite.
