    Description: An isotopic tracer is used to measure Mg self-diffusion in spinel and coexisting melt at bulk chemical equilibrium. The diffusion coefficients were calculated from the measured isotope profiles using a model that includes the complementary diffusion of Mg-24, Mg-25, and Mg-26 in both phases with the constraint that the Mg content of each phase is constant. The activation energy and preexponential factor for Mg self-diffusion in spinel are, respectively, 384 +/- 7 kJ and 74.6 +/- 1.1 sq cm/s. These data indicate Mg diffusion in spinel is much slower than previous estimates. The activation energy for Mg self-diffusion in coexisting melt is 343 +/- 25 kJ and the preexponential factor is 7791.9 +/- 1.3 sq cm/s. These results are used to evaluate cooling rates of plagioclase-olivine inclusions (POIs) in the Allende meteorite. Given a maximum melting temperature for POIs of about 1500 C, these results show that a 1-micron radius spinel would equilibrate isotopically with a melt within about 60 min.

    Description: The feasibility of using Sm-147 and Sm-146 as chronometers was investigated using Sm-Nd data obtained on three meteorites: Ibitira, Morristown, and Acapulco. The results of isotope analyses demonstrate the presence of in situ decay of short-lived Sm-146 in these meteorites with initial abundances of Sm-146/Sm-144 between 0.009 and 0.007 in different meteorites. Precisely defined Sm-147/Nd-143 internal isochrons were obtained yielding ages equal to 4.46 +/-0.02 AE for Ibitira, 4.47 +/-0.02 AE for Morristown, and 4.60 +/-0.03 AE for Acapulco. However, detailed examination of the coupled Sm-147/Nd-143 and Sm-146/Nd-142 parent-daughter systematics and of initial Nd-143/Nd-144 values indicated the presence of inconsistencies in the data in spite of the precise isochrons, indicating the need for care in the interpretation of the parent-daughter systematics, even when they appear well behaved.

    Description: The Nd and Sr isotopic compositions of Australasian tectites (including two flanged Australian tectites, two low-SiO2 Muong Nong-type tectites, and three high-SiO2 Muong Nong-type tectites) and the Nd, Sm, Sr, and Rb concentrations were investigated by isotope-dilution thermal ionization mass spectrometry, and the Sm-Nd and Rb-Sr isotope systematics were used to study the characteristics of the parental material. It is shown that the Nd and Sr isotopic data provide evidence that all Australasian tektites were derived from a single sedimentary formation with a narrow range of stratigraphic ages close to 170 Ma. It is suggested that all of the Australasian tektites were derived from a single impact event and that the australites represent the upper part of a melt sheet ejected at high velocity, whereas the indochinites represent melts formed at a lower level in the target material distributed closer to the area of the impact.
