We propose a new model of Earth's bulk composition based on enstatite chondrites (E-
chondrites), the only chondrite group isotopically identical to the Earth. This model allows a …

The only primitive meteorites that match satisfactorily both the stable isotope and redox
characteristics of the Earth are the Enstatite chondrites. I present an integral Enstatite …

We report concentrations of 30 elements in 34 replicate samples of 17 enstatite chondrites,
including 8 EH3 chondrites. Unweathered EH3 and EH4, 5 chondrites appear to be …

The compositions of Earth materials are strikingly similar to those of enstatite chondrite
meteorites in many isotope systems. Although this suggests that Earth largely accreted from …

The accretion of the major volatiles of the Earth is described in the frame of the integral
Enstatite Chondrite model [Javoy, M., 1995. The integral Enstatite Chondrite model of the …

Calcium is the fifth most abundant element in the Earth and in chondrites and is a pure
lithophile element which does not partition into planetary cores. Therefore, the calcium …

New rare earth element (REE) data for Archaean basalts and spinifex-textured peridotites
(STP) show a range of La/Sm ratios (chondrite-normalized) from 0.36 to 3.5, with the bulk of …

Refined estimates of primitive upper-mantle (PUM) composition are derived here from the
major-element and rare-earth-element (REE) contents of mantle lherzolites, using the …

Ratios of non-volatile elements such as zirconium, niobium (Nb) and tantalum (Ta) in the
unfractionated Earth are commonly assumed to be similar to those in the class of meteorites …

We present new data from a neutron activation analysis of four enstatite chondrites including
the taxonomically important St. Sauveur, and discuss the classification of enstatite …
