[meteorite-list] Cometary meteorites

[E.P. Grondine]

Hello Elizabeth, all - 

The general informal consensus within the meteorite community has been that carbonaceous meteorites are cometary in origin. That being the case, a few questions:
1) At what compression/temperature will CO2 dissociate into Carbon and Oxygen?
2) Will Epoxi provide fine spectra data for trace elements such as calcium and aluminum? Platinum Group Elements?
