Solar Noble Gases in Enstatite Chondrites and Implications for the Formation of the Terrestrial Planets
Introduction: In a companion abstract [1], we report evidence for tiny amounts of most likely primordial noble gases with solar-like elemental and isotopic composition admixed to Q-type primordial noble gases in an E chondrite. Here, we discuss possible implications of this finding for terrestrial planet formation. The genetic relation of the noble gases in planetary bodies to those in the Sun,...
متن کاملSubsolar Noble Gases in an Acid-resistant Residue of the Eh5 Chondrite St
Introduction: Enstatite chondrites have remarkable properties: they were formed in a reducing environment, they are putatively similar to precursor material of Earth, Venus, or Mercury, have a terrestrial oxygen isotopic composition and an uncommon noble gas signature [1-5]. Trapped noble gases in Echondrites are intermediate between solar and chondritic composition and consist of two component...
متن کاملComparative Re-Os systematics of chondrites: Implications regarding early solar system processes
A suite of 47 carbonaceous, enstatite, and ordinary chondrites are examined for Re-Os isotopic systematics. There are significant differences in the Re/Os and Os/Os ratios of carbonaceous chondrites compared with ordinary and enstatite chondrites. The average Re/Os for carbonaceous chondrites is 0.392 0.015 (excluding the CK chondrite, Karoonda), compared with 0.422 0.025 and 0.421 0.013 for or...
متن کاملDifferences in mean densities of the terrestrial planets have long been interpreted as inferring differences in the major elem
Major element fractionation among chondrites has been discussed for decades as ratios relative to Si or Mg. Expressing ratios relative to Fe leads to a new relationship admitting the possibility that ordinary chondrite meteorites are derived from two components: one is a relatively undifferentiated, primitive component, oxidized like the CI or C1 chondrites; the other is a somewhat differentiat...
متن کاملEarly Chemical History of the Solar System
The extreme antiquity and lack of evidence for significant chemical processing of the chondritic meteorites since they were formed suggest he possibility that their chemistry and mineralogy may have been established uring the condensation of the solar system. By using equilibrium thermodynamics, the sequence of condensation of mineral phases from a cooling nebula of solar composition has been c...
