Search for nucleosynthetic and radiogenic tellurium isotope anomalies in carbonaceous chondrites     

Manuela A. Fehr  Mark Rehkämper  Alex N. Halliday  Maria Schönbächler  Bodo Hattendorf 《Geochimica et cosmochimica acta》2006,70(13):3436-3448

Tellurium isotope data acquired by multiple-collector inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (MC-ICPMS) are presented for sequential acid leachates of the carbonaceous chondrites Orgueil, Murchison, and Allende. Tellurium isotopes are produced by a broad range of nucleosynthetic pathways and they are therefore of particular interest given the isotopic anomalies previously identified for other elements in these meteorites. In addition, the data provide new constraints on the initial solar system abundance of the r-process nuclide ¹²⁶Sn, which decays to ¹²⁶Te with a half-life of 234,500 years. The ¹²⁶Te/¹²⁸Te ratios of all leachates were found to be identical, within uncertainty, despite variations in ¹²⁴Sn/¹²⁸Te of between about 0.002 and 1.4. The data define a ¹²⁶Sn/¹²⁴Sn ratio of <7.7 × 10⁻⁵ at the time of last isotopic closure, consistent with the value of <18 × 10⁻⁵ previously reported for bulk carbonaceous chondrites. How close this is to the initial ¹²⁶Sn/¹²⁴Sn ratio of the solar system depends on when the investigated samples last experienced redistribution of Sn and Te. No clear evidence is found for nucleosynthetic anomalies in the abundances of p-, s-, and r-process nuclides. The largest effect detected in this study is a small excess of the r-process nuclide ¹³⁰Te in a nitric acid leachate of Murchison. This fraction displays an anomalous ε¹³⁰Te of +3.5 ± 2.5. Although barely resolvable given the analytical uncertainties, this is consistent with the presence of a small excess r-process component or an s-process deficit. The general absence of anomalies contrasts with previous results obtained for K, Cr, Zr, Mo, and Ba isotopes in similar leachates, which display nucleosynthetic anomalies of up to 3.8%. The reason for this discrepancy is unclear but it may reflect volatility and more efficient mixing of Te in the solar nebula.  相似文献   

Nucleosynthetic zirconium isotope anomalies in acid leachates of carbonaceous chondrites     

Maria Schönbächler  Mark Rehkämper  Manuela A. Fehr  Alex N. Halliday  Bodo Hattendorf 《Geochimica et cosmochimica acta》2005,69(21):5113-5122

Stepwise dissolutions of the carbonaceous chondrites Orgueil (CI), Murchison (CM) and Allende (CV) reveal large nucleosynthetic anomalies for Zr isotopes that contrast with the uniform compositions found in bulk meteorites. Two complementary nucleosynthetic components are observed: one enriched and one depleted in s-process nuclides. The latter component, characterized by excess ⁹⁶Zr, is most distinctive in the acetic acid leachate (up to ε⁹⁶Zr ≈ 50). The excess decreases with increasing acid strength and the final leaching steps of the experiment are depleted in ⁹⁶Zr and thus enriched in s-process nuclides. Presolar silicon carbide grains are likely host phases for part of the anomalous Zr released during these later stages. However, by mass balance they cannot account for the ⁹⁶Zr excesses observed in the early leaching steps and this therefore hints at the presence of at least one additional carrier phase with significant amounts of anomalous Zr. The data provide evidence that average solar system material consists of a homogenized mixture of different nucleosynthetic components, which can be partly resolved by leaching experiments of carbonaceous chondrites.  相似文献   

The isotopic and chemical evolution of Mount St. Helens

Isotopic and major and trace element analysis of nine samples of eruptive products spanning the history of the Mt. St. Helens volcano suggest three different episodes; (1) 40,000–2500 years ago: eruptions of dacite with ε_Nd = +5, ε_Sr = ?10, variable δ¹⁸O,²⁰⁶Pb/²⁰⁴Pb ～ 18.76, Ca/Sr ～ 60, Rb/Ba ～ 0.1, La/Yb ～ 18, (2) 2500-1000 years ago: eruptions of basalt, andesite and dacite with ε_Nd = +4 to +8, ε_Sr = ?7 to ?22, variable δ¹⁸O (thought to represent melting of differing mantle-crust reservoirs), ²⁰⁶Pb/²⁰⁴Pb= 18.81?18.87, variable Ca/Sr, Rb/Ba, La/Yb and high Zr, (3) 1000 years ago to present day: eruptions of andesite and dacite with ε_Nd = +6, ε_Sr = ?13, δ¹⁸O～6‰, variable²⁰⁶Pb/²⁰⁴Pb, Ca/Sr ～ 77, Rb/Ba= 0.1, La/Yb ～ 11. None of the products exhibit Eu anomalies and all are LREE enriched. There is a strong correlation between⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr and differentiation indices. These data are interpreted in terms of a mantle heat source melting young crust bearing zircon and garnet, but not feldspar, followed by intrusion of this crustal reservoir by mantle-derived magma which caused further crustal melting and contaminated the crustal magma system with mafic components. Since 1000 years ago all the eruptions have been from the same reservoir which has displayed a much more gradual re-equilibration of Pb isotopic compositions than other components suggesting that Pb is being transported via a fluid phase. The Nd and Sr isotopic compositions lie along the mantle array and suggest that the mantle underneath Mt. St. Helens is not as depleted as MORB sources. There is no indication of seawater involvement in the source region.  相似文献   

Lithium isotope fractionation in the southern Cascadia subduction zone   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2

We present lithium (Li) abundances and isotope compositions for a suite of anhydrous olivine tholeiites (HAOTs) and hydrous basalt-andesitic (BA) lavas from the Mt. Shasta and Medicine Lake regions, California. The values of δ⁷Li vary from + 0.9‰ to + 6.4‰ and correlate inversely with distance from the trench. These data are consistent with continuous isotope fractionation of Li during dehydration of the subducted oceanic lithosphere, an interpretation corroborated by uniformly high pre-eruptive H₂O contents in basaltic andesites accompanied by high Li, Rb, Sr, Ba and Pb abundances. The subduction-derived component that was added to these hydrous magmas is shown to be very similar beneath both Mt. Shasta and Medicine Lake volcanoes despite characteristically distinct Li isotope compositions in the magmas themselves. More evolved andesites and dacites from Mt. Shasta have δ⁷Li from + 2.8 to + 6.9‰ which is identical with the range obtained for HAOTs and BA lavas from Mt. Shasta. Therefore, Li isotopes do not provide evidence for any other crustal component admixed to Mt. Shasta andesites or dacites during magmatic differentiation and magma mixing in the crust.  相似文献

Analyzing seismic imagery in the time–amplitude and time–frequency domains to determine fluid nature and migration pathways: A case study from the Queen Charlotte Basin,offshore British Columbia     

Mathieu J. Duchesne  E. Julie Halliday  J. Vaughn Barrie 《Journal of Applied Geophysics》2011,73(2):111-120

Combining time–amplitude and time–frequency information from seismic reflection data sets of different resolutions allows the analysis of anomalous reflections from very-shallow to great subsurface depths. Thus, it can enhance the imaging of subsurface features which have a frequency-dependent reflectivity such as gas. Analysing seismic data of different resolution in the time–amplitude and time–frequency domains is a powerful method to determine hydrocarbon migration pathways from deep reservoirs to the seafloor. This interpretation method has been applied to the formerly-glaciated offshore Queen Charlotte Basin hosting several seafloor pockmarks and mounds associated with the leakage of underlying hydrocarbon reservoirs. Low-frequency shadows observed in the time–frequency domain provide evidence of different resolutions that several anomalous reflection amplitudes may be attributed to the occurrence of gas. The seismic imagery shows that gas uses a fault to migrate from deep reservoirs included in Upper Mesozoic strata towards secondary reservoirs located along the fault plane into Neogene layers. Once gas reaches a porous cut-and-fill succession, migration changes from structurally- to stratigraphically-controlled before gas leaks through unconsolidated Quaternary sediments forming the shallow subsurface to eventually seep at the seafloor where pockmarks and carbonate mounds are formed.  相似文献   

THE SEARCH FOR A LARGE METEORITE NEAR PRINCE GEORGE,BRITISH COLUMBIA     

Ian Halliday  A. T. Blackwell 《Meteoritics & planetary science》1971,6(1):39-47

A meteoritic event was observed from the vicinity of Prince George, British Columbia, at 5^h 58^m U.T., August 21, 1969, and an associated ground impact wave was recorded by several seismograph stations. An analysis of the visual and seismic data indicates that a mass of several tons must have reached the ground about 20 km southeast of Prince George. A helicopter search of the area and a study of aerial photographs have failed to locate the impact site  相似文献   

Tracing the star stream through M31 using planetary nebula kinematics

We present a possible orbit for the Southern Stream of stars in M31, which connects it to the Northern Spur. Support for this model comes from the dynamics of planetary nebulae (PNe) in the disc of M31: analysis of a new sample of 2611 PNe obtained using the Planetary Nebula Spectrograph reveals ∼20 objects with kinematics inconsistent with the normal components of the galaxy, but which lie at the right positions and velocities to connect the two photometric features via this orbit. The satellite galaxy M32 is coincident with the stream both in position and velocity, adding weight to the hypothesis that the stream comprises its tidal debris.  相似文献   

The flux of meteorites on the Earth's surface     

Ian Halliday  Alan T. Blackwell  Arthur A. Griffin 《Meteoritics & planetary science》1989,24(3):173-178

Abstract— We derive values for the number and size distributions of meteorites landing on Earth from a study of photographic observations of bright fireballs with the Canadian camera network. The observations cover 11 years from 1974 to 1985. This analysis is an extension of a previous study and represents a 30% increase in the data base. The cumulative plot of numbers vs estimated mass of the largest fragment for each event shows a change in slope near 0.6 kg due to a deficiency of small meteorites surviving from the group of slow fireballs. The change can be explained by a mass dependence of the fraction of the incoming object that survives as the largest fragment. For larger falls, the main mass appears to represent a decreasing fraction of the total mass of the surviving meteorites and estimates of these effects are used to derive the final distribution of both main masses and total masses of meteoritic events. For total masses greater than 1 kg the population index is 1.82, close to previous estimates. About 9 events per year drop at least 1 kg of meteorites in an area of a million square km and the same area receives an annual influx of 54 kg from meteorite events with total masses between 0.01 and 100 kg. There is sufficient confidence in these results that they may be used for comparison of the present flux of meteorites with values inferred for other times, in particular the long accumulation times of the Antarctic meteorite collections.  相似文献
