Thermal Constraints from Siderophile Trace Elements in Acapulcoite- Lodranite Metals
Introduction: A fundamental process in the formation of differentiated bodies is the segregation of metal-sulfide and silicate phases, leading to the formation of a metallic core. The only known direct record of this process is preserved in some primitive achondrites, such as the acapulcoite-lodranites. Meteorites of this clan are the products of thermal metamorphism of a chondritic parent. Mos...
متن کاملLaser-ablation Icp-ms Analyses of Meteoritic Metal Grains
Introduction: Lunar impact-melt breccias contain metal grains from the meteorites that formed the breccias. Because the breccias contain clastic material that may derive from older breccias, metal grains from earlier impacts may be present, too. The large subset of moderately mafic (8– 12% FeO), KREEP-rich (“LKFM”) melt breccias is particularly important because (1) these are the melt breccias ...
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 کاملSIDEROPHILE ELEMENT ABUNDANCES IN Fe-S-Ni-O MELTS SEGREGATED FROM PARTIALLY MOLTEN ORDINARY CHONDRITE UNDER DYNAMIC CONDITIONS. T . Rushmer,
Introduction: Early differentiation in evolving planetesimals likely involved a variety of different physical mechanisms. Fe-rich metallic liquid segregation can occur in a solid, partially molten, or purely molten silicate body, with or without the presence of deformation. Deformation may assist the segregation of low degree metallic melts. Segregation of Fe-S-Ni liquids formed by variable deg...
متن کاملPartitioning of moderately siderophile elements among olivine, silicate melt, and sulfide melt: Constraints on core formation in the Earth and Mars
Abst rac t -This study investigates the effects of variations in the fugacities of oxygen and sulfur on the partitioning of first series transition metals (V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, and Cu) and W among coexisting sulfide melt, silicate melt, and olivine. Experiments were performed at 1 atm pressure, 1350°C, with the fugacities of oxygen and sulfur controlled by mixing CO2, CO, and SO2 gases. Start...
