Hf-W chronometry of lunar metals and the age and early differentiation of the Moon.
The use of hafnium-tungsten chronometry to date the Moon is hampered by cosmogenic tungsten-182 production mainly by neutron capture of tantalum-181 at the lunar surface. We report tungsten isotope data for lunar metals, which contain no 181Ta-derived cosmogenic 182W. The data reveal differences in indigenous 182W/184W of lunar mantle reservoirs, indicating crystallization of the lunar magma oc...

Introduction: The 182 Hf– 182 W decay system (t 1/2 =9 My) is useful to date early Solar System processes, notably metal-silicate differentiation [1-10]. Hf-W systematics of refractory inclusions indicate that these objects formed with an initial 182 Hf/ 180 Hf ratio of ~1×10-4 and ε 182 W of –3.47 ± 0.20 [6]. Recent high precision studies revealed negative ε 182 W values relative to CAIs for s...
متن کاملCoupled W–Os–Pt isotope systematics in IVB iron meteorites: In situ neutron dosimetry for W isotope chronology
Tungsten isotope compositions of magmatic iron meteorites yield ages of differentiation that are within 72 Ma of the formation of CAIs, with the exception of IVB irons that plot to systematically less radiogenic compositions yielding erroneously old ages. Secondary neutron capture due to galactic cosmic ray (GCR) irradiation is known to lower the eW of iron meteorites, adequate correction of wh...
متن کاملTUNGSTEN AND HAFNIUM DISTRIBUTION IN CALCIUM-ALUMINUM INCLUSIONS (CAIs) FROM ALLENDE AND EFREMOVKA
Introduction: A widely accepted paradigm for the origin of chondrites maintains that chondrites represent the earliest planetesimals to form from the solar nebula and that differentiated bodies formed by the subsequent melting of chondrites. A challenge to this paradigm comes from physical models of accretion that require rapid accretion of ~10 km planetesimals that are then melted by the heat ...
متن کاملHf–W mineral isochron for Ca,Al-rich inclusions: Age of the solar system and the timing of core formation in planetesimals
Application of Hf–W chronometry to constrain the duration of early solar system processes requires the precise knowledge of the initial Hf and W isotope compositions of the solar system. To determine these values, we investigated the Hf–W isotopic systematics of bulk samples and mineral separates from several Ca,Al-rich inclusions (CAIs) from the CV3 chondrites Allende and NWA 2364. Most of the...
