The next #Winchcombe meteorite paper is out in @MeteoriticsPS
This one from @OU_SPS investigates the abundance & carrier phases of volatile species such as water & carbon dioxide.

Really awesome work led by @RocksInSPAAACE showing that even the #Winchcombe#meteorite that was recovered so fast has been altered a little bit by its time on Earth.
Super cool new findings on how meteorites are literally immediately affected by the Earth’s environment from rockstar PGR @RocksInSPAAACE https://t.co/rGcccEQybK
Winchcombe meteorite ☄️
A team from @UofGGES are analysing the newly discovered meteorite. This includes @aepickersgill, @aineclareob & Dr Lydia Hallis with the help of PGRs @HollyHourston & @RocksInSPAAACE.

All meteorites are modified by the terrestrial environment.
But #Winchcombe gives us an opportunity to track the processes & timescales of contamination in #SpaceRocks

This study was just published, so not that I know of. Some evaporite phases in carbonaceous falls likely need re-examining, especially sulfates, which although common in CI chondrites, are missing from CI-like samples returned from Ryugu.
