Hf-w Chronology of the Angrite Parent Body: Timing of Accretion, Core Formation and Magmatism
Introduction: Key issues regarding the early evolution of planetesimals include the timescales of accretion, core formation, and magmatism. The short-lived Hf-W system has proven particularly useful as a chronometer for these early planetary processes. For instance, W model ages for magmatic iron meteorites reveal that core formation in their parent bodies occurred within ~1 Myr after formation...
متن کاملThe Chronology of Accretion and Volatile Depletion of Differentiated Protoplanets Inferred from Rb-sr Systematics of Angrites
Introduction: Many meteorite parent bodies as well as the terrestrial planets are characterized by a depletion in moderately volatile elements compared to CI chondrites and the solar nebula. Determining the timing of this depletion is key for constraining the nature of the depletion process and such time constraints can be obtained from the Rb-Sr systematics of meteorites and some of their comp...
متن کاملSiderophile Elements in Metal from Metal-rich Angrite Nwa 2999
Introduction: The angrites are an important class of differentiated meteorites, mainly ultramafic rocks, the number of which has grown to over eleven with recent finds from Antarctica and hot deserts [1, 2]. The major chemical characteristics of the angrites include a refractory element enriched, volatile element depleted, oxidized composition. Based on alkali element abundances (e.g., K/La~10x...
متن کاملOxygen isotope evidence for the origin of HEDs and Angrites
Introduction: HEDs and angrites represent distinct suites of mafic igneous rocks formed early in the history of the Solar System [1]. Despite their mineralogical and chemical differences both groups have similar O-isotope compositions [2]. To examine the origin of HEDS and angrites we have undertaken a high-precision study of their O-isotope systematics. Experimental Techniques: Oxygen isotope ...
متن کاملAncient volcanic xenon in single glass grains from the D’Orbigny angrite
Introduction: Angrites are basaltic meteorites that cooled rapidly early in the evolution of the solar system [1]. They are widely thought to be products of differentiation and partial melting [2-4], though it has been suggested that they condensed from vapor in the solar nebula [5,6]. D’Orbigny (“D’O”) is vesicular and has abundant glass [2,5-7]. This has been interpreted as volcanic and seen ...
