After successful installation of the Dresden Accelerator Mass Spectrometry (DREAMS) facility [1], determinations of the lighter radionuclides ¹⁰Be, ²⁶Al, and ⁴¹Ca are now easily attainable in Germany. Accompanied by data for the heavier radionuclides (i.e. ⁵³Mn and ⁶⁰Fe) that can be measured at the 14 MV tandem at Munich and stable nuclides such as ^21,22Ne and ³⁸Ar from noble gas mass spectrometry at MPI Mainz, complete and unique exposure histories of extraterrestrial material can be reconstructed.
For example, recent analyses of the 100^th Martian meteorite Ksar Ghilane 002 [2] and four samples from the nickel-rich ataxite Gebel Kamil [3] show interesting features revealing amazing stories.
Ackn.: A. Bischoff and L. Folco are thanked for providing meteorite material and data for bulk chemical data.
