TL;DR
This paper discusses how stable isotope anomalies in meteorites serve as key tracers for understanding the formation and evolution of the Solar System, establishing a 'planetary isotopic genealogy' that links early Solar System processes.
Contribution
It introduces the concept of planetary isotopic genealogy as a new framework for understanding Solar System evolution through meteorite analysis.
Findings
Stable isotope anomalies trace material flow in early Solar System
The concept of planetary isotopic genealogy advances Solar System models
Meteorites provide ground truth for planetary formation theories
Abstract
The detection of exoplanets and accretion disks around newborn stars has spawned new ideas and models of how our Solar System formed and evolved. Meteorites as probes of geologic deep time can provide ground truth to these models. In particular, stable isotope anomalies in meteorites have recently emerged as key tracers of material flow in the early Solar System, allowing cosmochemists to establish a "planetary isotopic genealogy". Although not complete, this concept substantially advanced our understanding of Solar System evolution, from the collapse of the Sun's parental molecular cloud to the accretion of the planets.
