138La, 136Ce and 138Ce are p-process nuclides, and their isotopic abundances are generally low due to their modes of nucleosynthesis compared with other isotopes of La and Ce (139La, 140Ce and 142Ce). Tanimizu et al. (2004) mentioned that, using the 140Ce/142Ce ratio as the normalizing value, 136Ce isotope abundance could be acted as an indicator of p-process nuclide anomaly for extra-terrestrial materials to understand the nucleosynthetic origins of solar system matter. Then, meteoritic primordial composition of Ce isotope provides useful information related with 138La decay system. Especially, combined Ce/Nd isotope data in geological and cosmological materials enable us the modeling of the light REE profiles of the source material. We measured Ce isotope ratio for fifteen meteorites, using 140Ce/142Ce=7.941 as the normalizing value, in order to compare Ce isotope abundance between chondritic and HED meteorites. Of them, Ce isotope abundances from two chondritic meteorites were deviated from the average abundances of other 13 meteorites. In this report, we will discuss cosmochemical significance of Ce isotope anomaly.
