Oxygen isotopes in R-chondrite magnetite and olivine: Links between R chondrites and ordinary chondrites
Ion-microprobe studies yield DO (5dO 2 0.52 z dO) values in magnetite from the Rumurti chondrite (RC) PCA91241 (which is paired with PCA91002) of 13.1 to 13.9‰, slightly higher than that in O from whole-rock R samples. Despite DO values in whole-rock RCs that are much (by ca. 1.6‰) higher than in whole-rock LL chondrites, the DO in R magnetite is much lower (by ca. 2‰) than the values (14 to 17...
متن کاملThe Role of Microchemical Environments in the Alteration of Cm Carbonaceous Chondrites
Introduction: Aqueous fluids have left their fingerprint on almost all the known chondrite groups and attest to the fact that water was a widespread agent of change in the early solar system [1,2]. The interaction of liquid or gaseous water with the primary products of nebular processes caused significant textural, mineralogical, compositional and isotopic changes that are often very complex to...
متن کاملFluid evolution in CM carbonaceous chondrites tracked through the oxygen isotopic compositions of carbonates
The oxygen isotopic compositions of calcite grains in four CM carbonaceous chondrites have been determined by NanoSIMS, and results reveal that aqueous solutions evolved in a similar manner between parent body regions with different intensities of aqueous alteration. Two types of calcite were identified in Murchison, Mighei, Cold Bokkeveld and LaPaz Icefield 031166 by differences in their petro...
متن کاملDetermining the effects of aqueous alteration on the distribution of oxygen isotopes in carbonaceous chondrites
Introduction: Carbonaceous chondrites play a key role in determining the history of the early Solar System; a knowledge of the oxygen isotope variation within these materials will not only help in our understanding of the origin and evolution of those meteorites, but also the early Solar System reservoirs from which they formed [1]. However, several problems present themselves when trying to in...
متن کاملFluid flow in chondritic parent bodies: deciphering the compositions of planetesimals
Alteration of the Allende meteorite caused shifts in oxygen isotope ratios along a single mass fractionation line. If alteration was caused by aqueous fluid, the pattern of oxygen isotope fractionation can be explained only by flow of reactive water down a temperature gradient. Down-temperature flow of aqueous fluid within planetesimals is sufficient to explain the mineralogical and oxygen isot...
