We report two new dramatically dusty main sequence stars: HD 131488 (A1V) and HD 121191 (A8V). HD 131488 is found to have substantial amounts of dust in its terrestrial planet zone (L_IR/L_bol~4x10^-3), cooler dust further out in its planetary system, and an unusual mid-infrared spectral feature. HD 121191 shows terrestrial planet zone dust (L_IR/L_bol~2.3x10^-3), hints of cooler dust, and shares the unusual mid-infrared spectral shape identified in HD 131488. These two stars belong to sub-groups of the Scorpius-Centaurus OB association and have ages of ~10 Myr. HD 131488 and HD 121191 are the dustiest main sequence A-type stars currently known. Early-type stars that host substantial inner planetary system dust are thus far found only within the age range of 5-20 Myr.

High CO/H2 ratios supports an exocometary origin for a CO-rich debris disk
First direct H2 measurements in two CO-rich exocometary belts yield CO/H2 lower limits of >1.35e-3 and >3.09e-5, showing the gas is H2-poor and supporting secondary exocometary origin.
