I didn't make it to LPSC this year, but here's my space-science art (MMX)! #SciArt

Reminds me of something... "Execute order 66"

It could be! Although unequilibrated ordinary chondrites did not significantly contribute to Mars' formation, their small volatile content suggests they may have supplied soome water to Mars, and thus heavy hydrogen in its interior, as recorded by Martian meteorites.

Because Mars' primitive mantle may have also retained a strong deuterium-rich reservoir in its interior, the detection of similar signatures in unequilibrated ordinary chondrites may suggest that these bodies may have supplied heavy hydrogen to Mars's interior during its formation.

We found that parent body heating reduced the H, C, and N concentrations in these meteorites by causing these elements to outgas from the planetesimal's interior. This heating also affected the isotopes, with only hydrogen showing changes due to parent body processing.

Ordinary chondrites are fragments of ancient undifferentiated planetesimals that experienced varying heating early in the Solar System’s history, which may have dehydrated them.

We analyzed >40 samples with varying heating to measure their H,C,N contents and isotopic compositions.
