Pristine lunar glasses: Criteria, data, and implications

JW Delano - Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 1986 - Wiley Online Library
Major‐element analyses of several thousand glasses from all of the Apollo landing sites have
resulted in the identification of 25 groups of pristine (ie, volcanic) glass. The nickel in these …

Mechanism of montmorillonite catalysis in the formation of RNA oligomers

PC Joshi, MF Aldersley, JW Delano… - Journal of the American …, 2009 - ACS Publications
The montmorillonite clay-catalyzed reactions of nucleotides generate oligomers as long as
50-mers. The extent of catalysis depends on the magnitude of the negative charge on the …
