Oxygen isotopic evidence for accretion of Earth’s water before a high-energy Moon-forming giant impact
The Earth-Moon system likely formed as a result of a collision between two large planetary objects. Debate about their relative masses, the impact energy involved, and the extent of isotopic homogenization continues. We present the results of a high-precision oxygen isotope study of an extensive suite of lunar and terrestrial samples. We demonstrate that lunar rocks and terrestrial basalts show...
متن کاملOXYGEN ISOTOPES OF LUNAR ROCKS: DIFFERENT SOURCES FOR DIFFERENT HI-Ti BASALTS?
Introduction: Oxygen isotopes of planetary materials provide important constraints on the genesis and evolution of their parent planetary bodies. The general consensus about the formation of Earth-Moon system is that a Mars-sized planetary body impacted a proto-Earth off center and contributed 70%-90% of its material to the Moon [1,2]. The impactor (Thea) is not expected to have the identical o...
متن کاملParagenesis and geochornological studies of Asnawa Iron Ore by the isotope and mineral chemistry in Penjween Area, Zagros Suture Zone Kurdistan Region, NE Iraq
The Asinawa iron ore is located about 3km to the southeast of Penjween town, Sulaimaniya Governorate, Kurdistan Region, Northeastern Iraq near the Iraq-Iran border. The exposed iron ore deposit is about 60 and 400m wide and long respectively. The present study is the re-study of the geology and geochemistry of the Asnawan Iron ore deposit and concluded that the country rocks are consist of ...
متن کاملMicrofacies, geochemical characters and possible mechanism of rhythmic deposition of the Pabdeh Formation in SE Ilam (SW Iran)
Rhythmical alternations between limestone and marls characterize the Pabdeh Formation, southwestern Iran. Three intervals of these rhythmites were studied using sedimentary, petrography and geochemical parameters analysis, to unravel the possible mechanisms responsible for the origin of these rhythmites. The microfacies analysis reflects calm deep-water sedimentation that were interrupted by sp...
متن کاملHf-W AND THE ISOTOPIC CRISIS FOR THE GIANT IMPACT ORIGIN OF THE MOON
Introduction: It has become clear over the last few years that the widely accepted model for the origin of the Earth-Moon system as the result of a Mars-sized giant impactor colliding with proto-Earth is inconsistent with a variety of new isotopic data. Generally, it is thought that the Earth and the Mars-sized Moonforming impactor were isotopically different (for mass independent isotopic vari...
