Some differentiated achondrites, such as eucrites, recorded ancient geochemical /geophysical processes of early asteroids (or planetesimals), including their acquirement of volatiles. Chronological and geochemical information of phosphates in the meteorites is expected as valuable clue. Here, we report the high spatial resolution U-Pb dating and rare earth elements analyses of phosphates in several basaltic eucrites and an anomalous achondrite, Ibitira.
