Abstract— We have investigated the kinematics of the separation of iron globules from chondrules during chondrule formation. A simple model, which assumes that the system has no angular momentum, was used to calculate the energy of a system with an iron globule and a chondrule. The energies of three different states were calculated: 1) a melted iron globule fully embedded in a melted chondrule, 2) a melted iron globule on the surface of a melted chondrule, and 3) a melted iron globule being separated from a melted chondrule. We also calculated the lowest energy shape for a melted iron globule on the surface of a melted chondrule, and compared our result with the shapes of four natural samples of chondrules and iron globules in thin sections. The shapes were calculated using an assumed value for the interface energy between the four couples of melted chondrules and the iron globules, and agree well with the natural shapes of chondrules and iron globules. The results of our calculations show that the iron globules of these four samples would be strongly bound to the surface of the melted chondrule during chondrule formation, and separation would be difficult, if the iron globules had been on the surface of precursors of these chondrules. Our results also show that if these iron globules were initially inside and transported to the surface of the melted chondrule, most of them would be ejected from the inside to outside because of surface tension forces, as long as the energy losses due to viscous dissipation when the globules pass through the surface of melted chondrules were sufficiently small. Although further improvement of the model is required, our results demonstrate that this ejection process may be responsible for the depletion of siderophile elements in natural chondrules.  相似文献

野生动物友好型耕作(Wildlife-friendly Farming,WFF)实践是一种维持农田生态恢复的良好方式。本研究的目的在于探讨影响日本佐渡岛农民实施WFF的因素和提出影响这种实践传播的政策。对佐渡岛上把大米销售给日本农业合作社(Japan Agricultural Cooperatives,JA)的5010个农户进行了问卷调查,总共收到2231农户反馈问卷(反馈率45%)。通过与未经认证农民的态度和属性对比,我们确定了影响农民实施WFF的关键因素。与未经认证的农民相比,已认证的农民:(1)对生物多样性和WFF的经济效益表现出更高的兴趣;(2)拥有更多的已认证农民朋友;(3)感受到了来自消费者的更多的压力和期望;(4)当实施WFF时,不受恶劣劳动力或农田条件的限制。为了在佐渡岛进一步宣传WFF,我们建议把WFF实践对稻田生物多样性的有效性信息应用到公共教育中,并在非认证农民和已认证农民之间、农民与消费者之间创建交流的机会。  相似文献   

A new variant of saponite‐rich micrometeorites recovered from recent Antarctic snowfall     

Kanako SAKAMOTO  Tomoki NAKAMURA  Takaaki NOGUCHI  Akira TSUCHIYAMA 《Meteoritics & planetary science》2010,45(2):220-237

Abstract– Eight saponite‐rich micrometeorites with very similar mineralogy were found from the recent surface snow in Antarctica. They might have come to Earth as a larger meteoroid and broke up into pieces on Earth, because they were recovered from the same layer and the same location of the snow. Synchrotron X‐ray diffraction (XRD) analysis indicates that saponite, Mg‐Fe carbonate, and pyrrhotite are major phases and serpentine, magnetite, and pentlandite are minor phases. Anhydrous silicates are entirely absent from all micrometeorites, suggesting that their parental object has undergone heavy aqueous alteration. Saponite/serpentine ratios are higher than in the Orgueil CI chondrite and are similar to the Tagish Lake carbonaceous chondrite. Transmission electron microscope (TEM) observation indicates that serpentine occupies core regions of fine‐grained saponite, pyrrhotite has a low‐Ni concentration, and Mg‐Fe carbonate shows unique concentric ring structures and has a mean molar Mg/(Mg + Fe) ratio of 0.7. Comparison of the mineralogy to hydrated chondrites and interplanetary dust particles (IDPs) suggests that the micrometeorites are most similar to the carbonate‐poor lithology of the Tagish Lake carbonaceous chondrite and some hydrous IDPs, but they show a carbonate mineralogy dissimilar to any primitive chondritic materials. Therefore, they are a new variant of saponite‐rich micrometeorite extracted from a primitive hydrous asteroid and recently accreted to Antarctica.  相似文献   

花岗岩主要造岩矿物间硼同位素分馏的初步研究     

赵葵东  蒋少涌  NAKAMURA Eizo  MORIGUTI Takuy  魏海珍 《岩石学报》2015,31(3):740-746

本文报道了南岭地区两个花岗岩(大东山和千里山)的全岩以及主要造岩矿物(黑云母、斜长石和石英)的硼含量和硼同位素组成。结果显示,黑云母含有最高的硼含量,斜长石次之,石英中的硼含量则非常低。花岗岩中的硼可能主要以晶格替换方式赋存在黑云母和斜长石中,而石英中的微量硼则来自其包裹的流体包裹体。同时,黑云母具有最低的硼同位素组成,斜长石次之,而石英则具有最高的硼同位素组成。本次研究首次发现花岗岩中的主要造岩矿物间存在着较大的硼同位素分馏:大东山花岗岩中黑云母与斜长石之间存在着-9.3‰的分馏,黑云母与石英之间存在-9.9‰的分馏;千里山花岗岩中黑云母与斜长石之间存在着-6.6‰的分馏,黑云母与石英之间存在着-10.2‰的硼同位素分馏。结合镜下观察和氧同位素研究发现,造成不同矿物间这一大的硼同位素分馏的原因很可能是岩浆后期的热液蚀变作用。综合以往所发表的研究数据,得到含四次配位硼为主的硅酸盐矿物与中酸性热液流体之间的硼同位素分馏方程:1000lnα硅酸盐-流体=-11.19×(103/T[K])+5.09,该分馏是由于硼的四次配位和三次配位之间的转换引起的。  相似文献   

Granulite-facies Overprinting of Ultrahigh-pressure Metamorphic Rocks, Northeastern Su-Lu Region, Eastern China   总被引：28，自引：0，他引：28  

NAKAMURA  D.; HIRAJIMA  T. 《Journal of Petrology》2000,41(4):563-582

Secondary enstatite is present in ultrahigh-pressure (UHP) metamorphicrocks at two localities of Rongcheng County, in the northeasternSu-Lu region, eastern China. An enstatite-bearing eclogiticrock consists mainly of large grains of garnet and clinopyroxene,and enstatite is present as fine-grained coronas around quartzin the matrix. The enstatite coronas tend to develop near garnetgrains, and plagioclase forms between the two minerals. In thesecond enstatite-bearing eclogite, the assemblage of enstatite+ diopside is present as coronas around quartz. Textural relationshipsindicate that enstatite formed under plagioclase-stable andSi-saturated conditions after the peak-P metamorphism. Severalreaction curves constrain the enstatite-forming conditions tobe 700–800°C and 0·7–1·2 GPa.Application of thermometers to enstatite coronas also indicateshigh-T (  相似文献   

Spatial distribution of organic matter in the Bells CM2 chondrite using near‐field infrared microspectroscopy     

Yoko KEBUKAWA  Satoru NAKASHIMA  Michio ISHIKAWA  Kento AIZAWA  Tsutomu INOUE  Keiko NAKAMURA‐MESSENGER  Michael E. ZOLENSKY 《Meteoritics & planetary science》2010,45(3):394-405

Abstract– Distributions of organic functional groups as well as inorganic features were analyzed in the Bells (CM2) carbonaceous chondrite using near‐field infrared (NFIR) spectroscopy. NFIR spectroscopy has recently been developed to enable infrared spectral mapping beyond the optical diffraction limit of conventional Fourier transform infrared microspectroscopy. NFIR spectral mapping of the Bells 300 nm thick sections on Al plates for 7.5 × 7.5 μm² areas showed some C‐H‐rich areas which were considered to represent the organic‐rich areas. Heterogeneous distributions of organic matter as well as those of inorganic phases such as silicates (Si‐O) were observed with 1 μm spatial resolution. The NFIR mappings of aliphatic C‐H (2960 and 2930 cm^?1) and structural OH (3650 cm^?1) confirm that organic matter is associated with phyllosilicates as previously suggested. The NFIR mapping method can provide 1 μm spatial distribution of organic functional groups and their association with minerals. High local sensitivity of NFIR enables us to find organic‐rich areas and to characterize them by their aliphatic CH₂/CH₃ ratios. The aliphatic CH₂/CH₃ ratio of Bells is slightly higher than Murchison, similar to Orgueil, and lower than literature values of IDPs and cometary dust particles.  相似文献   

Stardust in Antarctic micrometeorites     

Toru YADA  Christine FLOSS  Frank J. STADERMANN  Ernst ZINNER  Tomoki NAKAMURA  Takaaki NOGUCHI  A. Scott LEA 《Meteoritics & planetary science》2008,43(8):1287-1298

Abstract— We report the discovery of presolar silicate, oxide (hibonite), and (possibly) SiC grains in four Antarctic micrometeorites (AMMs). The oxygen isotopic compositions of the eighteen presolar silicate (and one oxide) grains found are similar those observed previously in primitive meteorites and interplanetary dust particles, and indicate origins in oxygen‐rich red giant or asymptotic giant branch stars, or in supernovae. Four grains with anomalous C isotopic compositions were also detected. ¹²C/¹³C as well as Si ratios are similar to those of mainstream SiC grains; the N isotopic composition of one grain is also consistent with a mainstream SiC classification. Presolar silicate grains were found in three of the seven AMMs studied, and are heterogeneously distributed within these micrometeorites. Fourteen of the 18 presolar silicate grains and 3 of the 4 C‐anomalous grains were found within one AMM, T98G8. Presolar silicate‐bearing micrometeorites contain crystalline silicates that give sharp X‐ray diffractions and do not contain magnesiowüstite, which forms mainly through the decomposition of phyllosilicates and carbonates. The occurrence of this mineral in AMMs without presolar silicates suggests that secondary parent body processes probably determine the presence or absence of presolar silicates in Antarctic micrometeorites.  相似文献

Carbonate Minerals in the Warrawoona Group, Pilbara Craton: Implications for Continental Crust, Life, and Global Carbon Cycle in the Early Archean     

Kentaro NAKAMURA  Yasuhiro KATO 《Resource Geology》2002,52(2):91-100

Abstract: The occurrences of the Early Archean carbonate minerals are compiled and their precipitation processes are investigated for the Warrawoona Group, Pilbara Craton. Sedimentary carbonate rocks such as limestone and dolostone are very rare, and only a small amount of sedimentary carbonate minerals are sometimes contained in the hydrothermal bedded chert, implying that a sink of CO₂ was minor in the Early Archean sediments. Moreover, it is very likely that the activity of cyanobacteria forming stromatolites was considerably low in the Early Archean. Microfossils and carbonaceous matter in the hydrothermal cherts are probably derived from a non-photosynthetic microorganisms related to the seafloor hydrothermal activity. Their preservation in sediments may play a very minor role in carbon sink of the Earth's surface.
On the other hand, carbonatized volcanic rocks subjected to seafloor hydrothermal alteration occur ubiquitously in the Early Archean greenstone belts such as the Warrawoona Group, suggesting that the hydrothermally altered oceanic crust had large amounts of CO₂ as carbonate minerals. Global carbon cycle in the Early Archean is considered to have been controlled by the intense seafloor hydrothermal alteration. Large amounts of CO₂ were sunk into the oceanic crust by the alteration. The carbonatized oceanic crust was partly accreted to the continents and/or island–arcs, and partly subducted into the mantle without decomposition. Significant amounts of carbonate minerals in the carbonatized oceanic crust were very likely to store in the accretionary prisms and mantle, consequently giving rise to a decrease of atmospheric and oceanic CO₂.  相似文献
