The trace element composition of chondrule constituents: Implications for sample return methodologies and the chondrule silicate reservoir

Sample return missions represent great opportunities to study terrestrially uncontaminated solar system materials. However, the size of returned samples will be limited, and thus, it is necessary to understand the most appropriate techniques to apply. Accordingly, the sensitivity of laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA‐ICPMS) and secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) was compared through the analyses of trace elements...
