    Endemic isotopic anomalies in titanium (1980)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-18
    Description: Abundances of the titanium isotopes were determined using a new high-precision technique that shows terrestrial, lunar, and bulk meteorite samples to be indistinguishable. Ca-Al-Ti-rich inclusions in the Allende meteorite are found to contain Ti of widely varying isotopic composition reflecting the presence of at least three nucleosynthetic components. The anomalies in Ti appear to be relatively widespread and, when correlated with Ca data, provide a clue to nucleosynthesis in the neighborhood of the iron peak and to the late-stage nucleosynthetic processes which immediately preceded formation of the solar nebula.

    Ar-39 recoil losses and presolar ages in Allende inclusions (1983)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-28
    Description: Argon analyses were performed for five coarse-grained, Ca-Al-rich inclusions from the Allende meteorite. The samples were neutron-irradiated in evacuated ampuoles, and the Ar in the ampuoles and in the samples was analyzed. Up to 60 percent of Ar-39 was lost from the samples into the ampuoles due to recoil during neutron-irradiation; this loss resulted in substantial increases in the apparent Ar-40-Ar-39 ages of the samples. Substantial amounts of trapped Ar-36 of unknown origin were found in the inclusions, and the presence of trapped Ar-40 could not be ruled out. It is inferred that the interpretation of high Ar-40/K-40 ratios as very high (presolar) ages may be subject to question. It is noted that the degrees of Ar-39 recoil loss reported is comparable to recoil loss in terrestrial rocks and cannot be attributed to KCl contamination of the samples.

    Replacement textures in CAI and implications regarding planetary metamorphism (1983)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-28
    Description: Formation by a secondary metamorphic event, rather than primary crystallization from a melt or a sequential nebular condensation, is indicated by textural and chemical features of five coarse grained, Ca- and Al-rich inclusions (CAI) from the Allende meteorite which contain embayed pyroxene surrounded by melilite. It is suggested that the most probable environment for a metamorphic process (requiring the addition of Ca derived from calcite or from the introduction of a fluid phase) is that of a small planetary body, rather than the solar nebula. These results are compatible with O isotopic heterogeneities within CAI, and offer a mechanism for the production of lower temperature alteration phases, together with the rim phases found in these inclusions.

    The isotopic composition and concentration of Ag in iron meteorites and the origin of exotic silver (1983)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-28
    Description: The isotopic composition of Ag and the concentration of Ag and Pd in Canyon Diablo (IA), Grant (IIIB), Santa Clara, Tlacotepec and Warburton Range (IVB), Pinon and Deep Springs (anom) were analyzed. Troilite from Santa Clara and from Grant was also studied. With the exception of IA, all the meteorites were enriched in Ag-107 by about 2%-212% and the ratio of Ag-107/Ag-109 in the metal phase was found to be greater than the terrestrial value. Ag of anomalous isotopic composition was found to be common in all IVB and anomalous meteorites. A correlation of Ag-107/Ag-109 with Pd/Ag was established except for the iron meteorite of Santa Clara. The excess Ag-107 is thought to result from the decay of Pd-107. The Grant data appear to represent a Pd-107-Ag-107 isochron and indicate that the cooling rate at elevated temperatures was rapid enough to preserve the isotopic differences between metal and troilite. The data suggest that Ag in Santa Clara is made up of almost pure Ag-107 produced from Pd-107 decay and Ag-109 produced by nuclear reactions with only a small amount of 'normal' Ag. This indicates an intense energetic particle bombardment history in the early solar system which occurred after the formation of small planetary bodies.

    Sm-Nd isotopic evolution of chondrites (1980)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-28
    Description: The Nd-143/Nd-144 and Sm-147/Nd-144 ratios measured in 5 chondrites and the Juvinas achondrite correlated with the variation of 4.2% in Sm-147/Nd-144. Most of the spread in the range of these ratios results from small heterogeneities in the chondrites and does not reflect the large-scale volumetric averages. A new set of self-consistent reference values were selected for the 'chrondritic uniform reservoir' (CHUR); the new Sm-147/Nd-144 value is 1.6% higher than the previous value assigned to CHUR using the Juvinas data of Lugmair (1975). The new CHUR curve indicates significant changes in model ages for lunar rocks and in the interpretation of early lunar chronology.

    The Blue Angel. I - The mineralogy and petrogenesis of a hibonite inclusion from the Murchison meteorite (1982)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-28
    Description: Results are presented of a mineralogical and petrological examination of a relatively large hibonite-containing inclusion in the Murchison chondrite called the Blue Angel. Mechanisms of formation and modification of hibonite-rich inclusions are investigated. Evidence is found that modifying processes occurred before the inclusion was incorporated into its present location, which indicates a sequence of aqueous and metamorphic alteration followed by disruption and relithification of the protometeoritic material. The mineral chemistry and petrography of the Blue Angel is consistent with a three stage formation history, and extensive alteration of Ca-Al-rich inclusions may have occurred by aqueous alteration and thermal metamorphism followed by explosive mixing processes on a parent body.

    The isotopic composition of uranium and lead in Allende inclusions and meteoritic phosphates (1981)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-28
    Description: The isotopic compositions of uranium and lead in Ca-Al-rich inclusions from the Allende chondrite and in whitlockite from the St. Severin chondrite and the Angra dos Reis achondrite are reported. Isoptopic analysis of acid soluble fractions of the Allende inclusions and the meteoritic whitlockite, which show isotopic anomalies in other elements, reveals U-235/U-238 ratios from 1/137.6 to 1/138.3, within 20 per mil of normal terrestrial U abundances. The Pb isotopic compositions of five coarse-grained Allende inclusions give a mean Pb-207/Pb-206 model age of 4.559 + or - 0.015 AE, in agreement with the U results. Pb isotope ratios of two fine-grained inclusions and a coarse-grained inclusion with strong mass fractionation and some nonlinear isotopic anomalies indicate that the U-Pb systems of these inclusions have evolved differently from the rest of Allende. Th/U abundance ratios in the Allende inclusions and meteoritic phosphate are found to range from 3.8 to 96, presumably indicating an optimal case for Cm/U fractionation, although the normal U concentrations do not support claims of abundant live Cm-247 or Cm-247/U-238 fractionation at the time of meteorite formation, in contrast to previous results. A limiting Cm-247/U-235 ratio of 0.004 at the time of meteorite formation is calculated which implies that the last major r process contribution at the protosolar nebula was approximately 100 million years prior to Al-26 formation and injection.

    Chemical and isotopic study of extraterrestrial particles from the ocean floor (1983)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-28
    Description: An Rb-Sr isotopic analysis of deep-sea spherules (DSS) from the Pacific, vesicular iridium-rich glassy objects (VIRGO) from an Antarctic-Ocean diatomaceous-ooze core, and equigranular objects (EGO) associated with or included in VIRGO, is reported. The techniques of sample collection, preparation, chemical analysis, and isotopic analysis (by mass spectrometry) are described in detail, and the results are presented in tables. The Sr-87/Sr-86 determination has a precision of 1-2 percent in microsamples of 2-8 x 10 to the 11th Sr atoms. The DSS are found to have Sr concentrations and Sr-87/Sr-86 (0.730-0.757) typical of chondritic meteorites. Extreme Rb depletion is attributed to volatization during meteoroid atmospheric heating. The VIRGO, while having major-element compositions like that of meteorites and high Ir levels suggesting extraterrestrial origin, have Sr-87/Sr-86 = 0.703-0.705; and the associated EGO has Sr-87/Sr-86 = 0.701 + or - 0.001, typical of MORB or basaltic achondrites. Hence their extraterrestrial origin is not proved, and some lithic component other than the EGO must be the source of the high Ir concentration.

    Mineralogy and petrography of HAL, an isotopically-unusual Allende inclusion (1980)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-27
    Description: Results of a detailed mineralogical and textural study of the HAL (Hibonite ALlende) inclusion of the Allende meteorite, which has been found to exhibit no Mg-26 excesses despite very high Al-27/Mg-24 ratios and large fractionation effects with small nuclear effects in its Ca, are reported. The inclusion is found to consist of three up to 1-mm diameter hibonite crystals partially surrounded by a black rim resembling a devitrified glass and containing an anisotropic Al-Fe oxide, which is in turn surrounded by a 2-mm thick friable rim sequence consisting of five layers distinguishable by mineral composition. From the available evidence, it is concluded that each of the layers of the friable rim formed by the accretion of an assemblage of condensate grains rather than by the complete reaction of a HAL precursor with a nebular gas, thus explaining its unusual isotopic characteristics and supporting the conclusion that the solar nebular contained isotopically-distinct reservoirs.
