THE MAIN GOALS OF THE PROPOSED WORK ARE TO CONSTRAIN THE PROVENANCE OF MATERIAL COMPRISING THE SOLAR NEBULA AND POTENTIALLY PROVIDE NEW CONSTRAINTS ON THE TIMING OF VERY EARLY SOLAR SYSTEM FRACTIONATION PROCESSES. WE WILL OBTAIN SIDEROPHILE ELEMENT CHEMICAL AND ISOTOPIC DATA FROM COSMOCHEMICAL MATERIALS TO ADDRESS A LONG-STANDING QUESTION: IS THERE DIRECT EVIDENCE OF TC IN THE EARLY SOLAR SYSTEM?
