These materials are essential for establishing potentially habitable environments and directly influence the emergence of life on rocky planets. Here we extend beyond the traditional building blocks of the outer disk, the carbonaceous chondrite groups, and examine their ungrouped counterparts\u2014the anomalous chondrites\u2014to constrain a coherent model of disk evolution using Si, Mg, Fe and Cr nucleosynthetic isotope systematics. Our results reveal that the outer disk was replenished via addition of isotopically distinct molecular cloud material that contributed a substantial fraction of mass (&gt;30%) to the building blocks of the gas giant accretion region. This late-infalling material did not contribute to the main accretion phase of the terrestrial planets that have evolved their volatile budget solely from Ivuna-type planetesimals such as Ryugu and Bennu, which, in our model, were formed at the inward-migrating water ice line. The accretion of these icy planetesimals in the inner disk fundamentally revises our view of Solar System evolution, dissolving the canonical dichotomy between non-carbonaceous and carbonaceous reservoirs and identifying a unified pathway for the delivery of volatile-rich material to the terrestrial planet region.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Elishevah van Kooten, Sebastian Sj\u00f8rring Lodal, Isaac Onyett, Lasse Rasmus Pohlmann, Jean Bollard, Courtney Rundhaug, Martin Schiller &amp; Martin Bizzarro Nature Astronomy, Published: 10 July 2026 LINK (OPEN ACCESS)PDF (OPEN ACCESS) We spotted the following&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[74,9,10,343,18,19,12,6218,14,5044,73,335],"tags":[7173,2434,3273,6013,6773,3445,7264,7163,2051,4857,5920,7174,7175,6010,5923,7172,7164,6895,7171,7167,7176,7166,7168,7165,7183,1761,257,7170,5747,1009,1088],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/karmaka.de\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42056"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/karmaka.de\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/karmaka.de\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/karmaka.de\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/karmaka.de\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=42056"}],"version-history":[{"count":12,"href":"https:\/\/karmaka.de\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42056\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":42073,"href":"https:\/\/karmaka.de\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42056\/revisions\/42073"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/karmaka.de\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=42056"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/karmaka.de\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=42056"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/karmaka.de\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=42056"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
