Asteroidal water within fluid inclusion-bearing halite in an H5 chondrite, Monahans (1998)
نویسندگان
چکیده
Crystals of halite and sylvite within the Monahans (1998) H5 chondrite contain aqueous fluid inclusions. The fluids are dominantly sodium chloride-potassium chloride brines, but they also contain divalent cations such as iron, magnesium, or calcium. Two possible origins for the brines are indigenous fluids flowing within the asteroid and exogenous fluids delivered into the asteroid surface from a salt-containing icy object.

Organic matter in extraterrestrial water-bearing salt crystals
Direct evidence of complex prebiotic chemistry from a water-rich world in the outer solar system is provided by the 4.5-billion-year-old halite crystals hosted in the Zag and Monahans (1998) meteorites. This study offers the first comprehensive organic analysis of the soluble and insoluble organic compounds found in the millimeter-sized halite crystals containing brine inclusions and sheds ligh...
متن کاملStable Chlorine Isotope Reservoirs in Chondrites
Introduction: By analyzing the stable Cl-isotopes of halite from the Zag H-breccia and comparing the results with those from other chondritic materials we can provide new information about isotopes in the early Solar System. In particular Cl-isotope work may complement O-isotope studies. We show for the first time that substantial Cl/Cl fractionation exists between chondrite components. Zag hal...
متن کاملMicrothermometric analysis of synthetic fluid inclusions in the hydrothermal diamond-anvil cell
The hydrothermal diamond-anvil cell (HDAC) was employed as a pressurized fluid inclusion heating stage to determine temperatures of phase transitions in synthetic fluid inclusions in quartz. Using this technique, the common problem of decrepitation or stretching of inclusions having high internal pressures was eliminated. Homogenization temperatures of pure H2O synthetic inclusions determined i...
متن کاملInvestigation of mineralogy and geothermometry of quartz and tourmaline veins at the Baghu area, southeast of Damghan
The Baghuo gold mine (Kuhzar) is located about 100 km S-SE of Damghan. The area is part of Torud- Chahshirin volcano- plutonic belt. The hosts of quartz – tourmaline veins are mainly granite, granodiorite and volcanic rocks such as andesite and dacite. Mineralization occurs as a copper- gold bearing silica vein. Quartz, pyrite, chalcopyrite, gold, hematite, malachite, azurite, covellite and Fe...
متن کاملLate Eocene to early Oligocene quantitative paleotemperature record: Evidence from continental halite fluid inclusions
Climate changes within Cenozoic extreme climate events such as the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum and the First Oligocene Glacial provide good opportunities to estimate the global climate trends in our present and future life. However, quantitative paleotemperatures data for Cenozoic climatic reconstruction are still lacking, hindering a better understanding of the past and future climate con...
