Evaporative fractionation of volatile stable isotopes and their bearing on the origin of the Moon.
The Moon is depleted in volatile elements relative to the Earth and Mars. Low abundances of volatile elements, fractionated stable isotope ratios of S, Cl, K and Zn, high μ ((238)U/(204)Pb) and long-term Rb/Sr depletion are distinguishing features of the Moon, relative to the Earth. These geochemical characteristics indicate both inheritance of volatile-depleted materials that formed the Moon a...
متن کاملGallium isotopic evidence for extensive volatile loss from the Moon during its formation
The distribution and isotopic composition of volatile elements in planetary materials holds a key to the characterization of the early solar system and the Moon's formation. The Moon and Earth are chemically and isotopically very similar. However, the Moon is highly depleted in volatile elements and the origin of this depletion is still debated. We present gallium isotopic and elemental measure...
متن کاملLate Impacts and the Origins of the Atmospheres on Venus, Earth, and Mars
Introduction. Diverse origins of terrestrial planet atmospheres are inferred from differences in the noble gas abundances and isotope ratios observed on Venus, Earth, and Mars [e.g., 1, 2]. Models for the origin of terrestrial atmospheres typically require an intricate sequence of events, including substantial loss and isotopic fractionation of solar nebula gases, outgassed mantle volatiles, an...
متن کاملPSRD: Zinc Isotopes Provide Clues to Volatile Loss During Moon Formation
Isotopic analyses of the oxygen and the refractory elements chromium, tungsten, and titanium show that Earth and Moon have the same isotopic compositions for these elements. In contrast, Randal Paniello and Frédéric Moynier (Washington University in St. Louis) and James Day (Scripps Institution of Oceanography, La Jolla) report from highprecision analyses of the isotopes of the volatile element...
متن کاملEocene-Oligocene volcanic units of momen abad, east of Iran: petrogenesis and magmatic evolution
This study investigates petrology and major, minor, and rare earth elements geochemistry of East Iranian Eocene–Oligocene volcanic rocks in Sistan suture zone, to examine their petrogenesis and magma evolution. The volcanic rocks include andesite, trachy-andesite, dacite and rhyolite. These calc-alkaline rocks of high-K series are enriched in Large Ion Lithophile Elements of Rb and Ba a...
