Noble gas signature of the late heavy bombardment in the Earth's atmosphere
The Lunar cratering record is consistent with the occurrence of a late heavy bombardment (LHB), which marked the end of terrestrial planet accretion 3.8 billion years ago. However, clear evidence of a LHB on Earth has not yet been identified. Based on a volatile budget of the terrestrial mantle, the atmosphere and hydrosphere we propose that the LHB did indeed occur on Earth and that we are bre...
متن کاملWAS THERE A CONCENTRATION OF LUNAR AND ASTEROIDAL IMPACTS AT ~4000 Ma?
Introduction: Ever since the first suggestion that there was a clustering in the ages of the Apollo lunar samples at ~3900 Ma [1, 2], the question of whether that clustering represented an increase in the impact flux, as suggested by [1, 2], or something else [3, 4], has been debated. Since the rate of impacts with time is a critical input parameter for dynamical models [5], as well as having a...
متن کاملLunar Meteorites and Implications for Compositional Remote Sensing of the Lunar
Lunar meteorites (LMs) are rocks found on Earth that were ejected from the Moon by impact of an asteroidal me-teoroid. Three factors make the LMs important to remote sensing studies: (1) Most are breccias composed of regolith or fragmental material, (2) all are rocks that resided (or breccias composed of material that resided) in the upper few meters of the Moon prior to launch [e.g., 15], and ...
متن کاملSimultaneous analysis of abundance and isotopic composition of nitrogen, carbon, and noble gases in lunar basalts: Insights into interior and surface processes on the Moon
Simultaneous static-mode mass spectrometric measurements of nitrogen, carbon, helium, neon, and argon extracted from the same aliquot of sample by high-resolution stepped combustion have been made for a suite of six lunar basalts. Collecting abundance and isotopic data for several elements simultaneously from the same sample aliquot enables more detailed identification of different volatile com...
متن کاملE Evolution, Lunar: From Magma Ocean to Crust Formation
The lunar crust provides a record of the planetary formation and early evolutionary processes and contains a wealth of information about the origin and evolution of the Earth-Moon system (e.g., Taylor 1982; NRC 2007; Canup 2008, 2012; Cuk and Stewart 2012; Young et al. 2016). Understanding these processes is crucial for the reconstruction of the early evolutionary stages of the Earth, e.g., the...
