Rare-earth abundances in chondritic meteorites   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1

Fifteen chondrites, including eight carbonaceous chondrites, have been analyzed for rare earth element (REE) abundances by isotope dilution. These analyses complement and extend earlier isotope dilution REE determinations in chondrites, performed in other laboratories, so that coverage of major chondrite classes is now complete. An examination of this body of precise and comparable REE data from individual chondrites reveals that only a small proportion of the analyses have flat, unfractionated REE patterns within experimental error. A statistical procedure is used to derive revised chondritic abundances of REE by selection of unfractionated patterns. A number of the remaining analyses show Eu anomalies and fractionated patterns consistent with magmatic fractionation as encountered in the products of planetary differentiation. However, many patterns exhibit features not readily explicable by known magmatic processes; in particular, positive Ce anomalies are often encountered. Abundance anomalies can be quantitatively determined by the use of a least-squares curve fitting procedure. The wide variety of anomalous patterns and the uncertainties in model parameters preclude detailed modeling of the origin of anomalies, but it is probable that at least some arise from fractional condensation in the solar nebula, as has been demonstrated for Allende inclusions. Elemental abundance anomalies are found in all major chondrite classes. If these anomalies are ignored, the range and nature of variation within chondrite classes are consistent with a parent body model, in which solid-liquid or solid-solid equilibria induce variations from an unfractionated bulk composition. Absolute abundances in the H, L and LL parent bodies are almost twice those of the E parent body.The persistence of anomalies in chondritic materials relatively removed from direct condensational processes implies that anomalous components are resistant to equilibration or were introduced at a late stage of chondrite formation. Large scale segregation of gas and condensate is also implied, and raises the possibility of bulk variations in REE abundances between planetary bodies.  相似文献   

Thermal alteration experiments on organic matter in recent marine sediment—II. Isoprenoids     

Raphael Ikan  Mary Jo Baedecker  Isaac R. Kaplan 《Geochimica et cosmochimica acta》1975,39(2):187-194

Several isoprenoid compounds were isolated from a heat-treated marine sediment in the southern California continental shelf (from Tanner Basin) which were not present in the original sediment. Among the compounds identified were: phytol, dihydrophytol, C₁₈-isoprenoid ketone, phytanic and pristanic acids, C₁₉- and C₂₀-monoolefins, and the alkanes 2,6,10-trimethylpentadecane, pristane and phytane. The significance and possible routes leading to these compounds is discussed.  相似文献   

Thermal alteration experiments on organic matter in recent marine sediment—III. Aliphatic and steroidal alcohols     

Raphael Ikan  Mary Jo Baedecker  Isaac R Kaplan 《Geochimica et cosmochimica acta》1975,39(2):195-203

Recent sediments from Tanner Basin (off southern California) and Bandaras Bay (in Gulf of California) have been analyzed for normal, isoprenoid and steroidal alcohols using chromatographic (column, GLC, TLC), and spectroscopic (u.v., i.r., MS) methods, prior to and after heat-treatment (from 65 to 150°C). Normal saturated alcohols (C₁₄-C₂₄) and monounsaturated alcohols (C₂₂-C₂₄) were identified, as well as the isoprenoid alcohols, phytol and dihydrophytol.Two series of sterols (Δ⁵ and Δ⁷) were found in Tanner Basin, and Δ⁵-sterols and triterpenes, in Bandaras Bay sediment. Sterols from both sediments contained the corresponding stanols.  相似文献

Some thermodynamical and microphysical aspects of monsoon clouds     

A Mary Selvam  A S Ramachandra Murty  R Vijayakumar  S K Paul  G K Manohar  R S Reddy  B K Mukherjee  Bh. V. Ramana Murty 《Journal of Earth System Science》1980,89(2):215-230

The thermodynamical and microphysical characteristics of monsoon clouds in the Poona, Bombay and Rihand regions were investigated using extensive aircraft in-cloud observations. The number of clouds sampled at Poona, Bombay and Rihand is 2199, 169 and 104 respectively. The temperatures inside the cloud are colder than its environment at Poona and Rihand. The maximum difference is about 3°C at the cloud base level and the difference decreased with height. At Bombay the difference is less than 1°C and at some levels the temperatures inside the cloud are warmer than its environment. The lapse rates of temperatures inside the cloud are slightly less than those in the immediate environment of the cloud. The environmental lapse rates are nearly equal to the saturated adiabatic value. The positive increments in liquid water content (LWC) are associated with the increments in temperature inside the cloud. Similarly positive increments in temperatures inside the cloud are associated with the increments in temperature of its immediate environment at the same level or the layer immediately above. The maximum cloud lengths observed at Poona and Bombay respectively are 14 and 3 km. The horizontal cross-section of LWC showed a maximum number of 13 peaks in clouds at Poona while only 7 peaks were observed at Bombay. The location of maximum LWC in the horizontal cross-section is more or less at the centre of the cloud. The LWC profile showed an increase with height from the base of the cloud at Poona and Bombay. There is no marked variation of LWC with height at Rihand. The total droplet concentration at different altitudes at Poona and Bombay is in the range 28–82 cm^?3. The size distribution of cloud droplets experienced a broadening effect with increase in height from the cloud base at Poona. The broadening effect at Bombay is not as marked as that at Poona.  相似文献   

Nontidal circulation and mixing processes in the lower Potomac estuary     

Andrew D. Hamilton  Robert E. Wilson 《Estuaries and Coasts》1980,3(1):11-19

An analysis of the vertical structure of nontidal longitudinal currents and salinity in a reach of the lower Potomac River Estuary suggests that values for vertical eddy viscosity and eddy diffusivity scale with water depth H, tidal current amplitude U and bulk Richardson number according to conventional empirical formulas. However, the constant which relates the vertical eddy coefficients under conditions of neutral stability to UH is found to be an order of magnitude less than that expected for tidal conditions. Analyses also suggest that the degree of enhancement of longitudinal dispersion by the shear effect associated with the nontidal currents is a strong function of bulk Richardson number.  相似文献

Submergence avoidance behavior in the periwinkleLittorina irrorata is not due to threat of drowning     

David F. Bleil  Mary E. Gunn 《Estuaries and Coasts》1978,1(4):267-267

An attempt to establish an LD₅₀ for submergence onLittorina irrorata casts strong doubt on the hypothesis that submergence avoidance behavior is due to the threat of drowning. Predator avoidance is offered as a more plausable hypothesis. Respiration rates of 2.73×10^?3 ml O₂/g body wt./min. for submerged snails and 2.70×10^?2 ml O₂/g body wt./min. for controls were determined.  相似文献
