HIGH-PRECISION SILICON ISOTOPE RATIO MEASUREMENTS OF EARTH AND ENSTATITIC METEORITES AND IMPLICATIONS FOR Si ISOTOPE FRACTIONATION DURING CORE FORMATION
Introduction: Core formation processes in planets may impart stable isotope ratio signatures on the bulk silicate Earth due to partitioning between the metallic core and silicate [1]. Enstatite chondrites (E-chondrites) are the only primitive meteorite group with stable oxygen isotope compositions similar to Earth [2]. The Echondrites also possess a metal phase with substantial amounts of Si. W...
متن کاملFormation of metal in the CH chondrites ALH 85085 and PCA 91467 ANDREW J. CAMPBELL* and MUNIR HUMAYUN
Siderophile element distributions within individual metal grains in two CH chondrites, Allan Hills 85085 and Pecora Escarpment 91467, were measured by laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. Those metal grains that are zoned in Ni were also found to be zoned in other refractory siderophile elements, such as Ru, but not in Pd, which is not refractory but is highly siderophil...
متن کاملHf-W AGES OF METAL-RICH CHONDRITES AND THE TIMING OF EARLY METAL FORMATION IN THE SOLAR
Introduction: The metal-rich CB and CR chondrites are among the most pristine early solar system materials. As such, they are interesting for two main reasons: (1) they can serve as anchors for the intercalibration of short-lived radiochronometers and (2) they allow us to better understand the earliest stages of metal formation. These meteorites contain indeed abundant free metal in the form of...
متن کاملOxygen isotope and petrological study of silicate inclusions in IIE iron meteorites and their relationship with H chondrites
The origin of silicate-bearing irons, especially those in groups IAB, IIICD, and IIE, is poorly understood as silicate should have separated rapidly from molten metal. Here we report the results of high precision oxygen isotope analysis of silicate inclusions in eleven group IIE meteorites and a petrological study of silicate inclusions in ten IIE irons including those in Garhi Yasin and Tarahu...
متن کاملThe Tucson ungrouped iron meteorite and its relationship to chondrites
Tucson is an enigmatic ataxitic iron meteorite, an assemblage of reduced silicates embedded in Fe-Ni metal with dissolved Si and Cr. Both, silicates and metal, contain a record of formation at high temperature ( 1800 K) and fast cooling. The latter resulted in the preservation of abundant glasses, Al-rich pyroxenes, brezinaite, and fine-grained metal. Our chemical and petrographic studies of al...
