41. This work was done under a postdoctoral research appointment at NASA managed by the National Research Council, and NASA Cosmochemistry grants to A.D.B. and C.R.N. Sample SaU 169 was kindly provided by B. Hofmann at the Natural History Museum Bern, Switzerland. LAP 02205 and Apollo rocks were supplied by Astromaterials and Research Exploration Science Directorate at NASA-JSC. The comments of S. Berthet, M. Sharma and one anonymous reviewer greatly helped to improve former versions of this paper.
