With a new type of ion microprobe, the NanoSIMS, we determined the oxygen isotopic compositions of small (<1μm) oxide grains in chemical separates from two CM2 carbonaceous meteorites, Murray and Murchison. Among 628 grains ...
We report the results of a study of 81 micrometer-sized presolar SiC grains in the size range 0.5-2.6 μm from the Murchison (CM2) carbonaceous chondrite. We describe a simple, nondestructive physical disaggregation technique ...
