Lead-lead Constraints on the Time Scale of Early Planetary Differentiation
Introduction: The U-Pb isotope system provides unparalleled chronological resolution in the determination of absolute ages of events occurring in early solar system history. Proper comparison of these absolute ages with the relative chronologies emerging from studies of now-extinct nuclides such as Al, Mn, and Hf requires identification of fixed time points in the evolution of materials in the ...
متن کاملOxygen reservoirs in the early solar nebula inferred from an Allende CAI.
Ultraviolet laser microprobe analyses of a calcium-aluminum-rich inclusion (CAI) from the Allende meteorite suggest that a line with a slope of exactly 1.00 on a plot of delta (17)O against delta (18)O represents the primitive oxygen isotope reservoir of the early solar nebula. Most meteorites are enriched in (17)O and (18)O relative to this line, and their oxygen isotope ratios can be explaine...
متن کاملAllende meteorite: Isotopically anomalous xenon is accompanied by normal osmium.
The (184)Os/(190)Os ratio of six Allende meteorite samples was determined by neutron activation analysis. Four chromite concentrates gave a ratio differing from the terrestrial ratio by only -0.1 +/- 0.4%, although they contained highly anomalous xenon enriched by up to 67% in (124)Xe and 93% in (136)Xe. In view of this result and the normal isotopic composition of carbon and oxygen in these fr...
متن کاملCorrelated cosmogenic W and Os isotopic variations in Carbo and implications for Hf–W chronology
An obstacle for establishing the chronology of iron meteorite formation using Hf–W systematics (t1/2 = 8.9 Myr) is to find proper neutron fluence monitors to correct for cosmic ray modification of W isotopic composition. Recent studies showed that siderophile elements such as Pt and Os could serve such a purpose. To test and calibrate these neutron dosimeters, the isotopic compositions of W and...
متن کاملRe-Os isotopic systematics and platinum group element composition of the Tagish Lake carbonaceous chondrite
The Tagish Lake meteorite is a primitive C2 chondrite that has undergone aqueous alteration shortly after formation of its parent body. Previous work indicates that if this type of material was part of a late veneer during terrestrial planetary accretion, it could provide a link between atmophile elements such as H, C, N and noble gases, and highly siderophile element replenishment in the bulk ...
