  Isotope anomalies provide important information about early solar system
evolution. Here we report molybdenum isotope abundances determined in samples
of various meteorite classes. There is no fractionation of molybdenum isotopes
in our sample set within 0.1 permil and no contribution from the extinct
radionuclide 97Tc at mass 97 (97Tc/92Mo<3E-6). Instead, we observe clear
anomalies in bulk iron meteorites, mesosiderites, pallasites, and chondrites
characterized by a coupled excess in p- and r- or a mirror deficit in s-process
nuclides (Mo-HL). This large scale isotope heterogeneity of the solar system
observed for molybdenum must have been inherited from the interstellar
environment where the sun was born, illustrating the concept of ``cosmic
chemical memory''. The presence of molybdenum anomalies is used to discuss the
filiation between planetesimals.
