Zirconium stable isotopes have been measured recently and shown to vary by several per mille on Earth. Both positive and negative shifts of δ^94/90Zr have been found in zircons and melts, and equilibrium isotopic fractionations are found to be small. We here employ and further develop a zircon crystallisation programme with two moving boundaries targeting zircon crystallisation in the presence of other minerals. We reproduce positive, negative, and inverse δ^94/90Zr, Zr/Hf, and other compatible trace element variations in zircon and surrounding melt that can be entirely explained by the boundary layer processes during kinetics of zircon crystallisation in a realistic set of geologic conditions. Progressively lower δ^94/90Zr values in zircon develop during rapid crystallisation, lower melt water contents, crystallisation in the lower temperature range, and whilst co-crystallising with the Zr-poor phase. Given large (multi-per mille) kinetic Zr isotope fractionations discovered, zircon may serve as a monitor of magmatic crystallisation conditions, but is unlikely to serve as a diagnostic tool for the bigger set of petrological problems (<em>e.g.</em>, evolution of the continental crust) without proper context.","PeriodicalId":12613,"journal":{"name":"Geochemical Perspectives Letters","volume":"20 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2022-12-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138531304","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Higher P concentrations in zircon from Phanerozoic SPGs reflect enhanced apatite solubility in peraluminous melts and overall higher P concentrations in peraluminous granites. However, SPGs derived from partial melting of Precambrian sedimentary rocks have lower P concentrations compared to Phanerozoic metaluminous granites, reflecting lower P concentrations in Precambrian <em>versus</em> Phanerozoic sedimentary sources. We demonstrate that zircons from Precambrian SPGs also have lower P concentrations compared to Phanerozoic counterparts, likely reflecting lower P concentrations in their parental melts. Applying the P-in-zircon proxy to the detrital zircon record does not effectively discriminate between metaluminous and peraluminous sources and underestimates contributions from peraluminous granites. Although detrital zircons are an important early Earth archive, a uniformitarian perspective cannot always be applied when using trace element proxies developed on Phanerozoic samples.","PeriodicalId":12613,"journal":{"name":"Geochemical Perspectives Letters","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2022-11-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138531331","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Os data are used to calculate water exchange rates between the Arctic and surrounding oceans and to calculate Arctic Ocean salinity during the Early Eocene.

Such light Mo isotope compositions reflect the redox-dependent aqueous mobility of isotopically heavy Mo associated with slab dehydration. Here we analysed basaltic glasses from the South-Mid Atlantic Ridge, whose parental melts are influenced by the enriched Discovery and Shona mantle plumes. We report increasingly higher δ 98/95 Mo of up to − 0.1 ‰ from the most depleted samples towards those tapping more enriched mantle sources. δ 98/95 Mo values correlate with radiogenic Sr and Nd isotopes, which indicates the recycling of Proterozoic sediments with a Mo isotopic composition that was not affected by subduction-related, oxic dehydration. We propose that the Mo isotope signatures were retained during subduction and reflect anoxic conditions during deep sea sedimentation in the mid-Proterozoic. Finally, Mo isotope fractionation between different terrestrial reservoirs likely depends on the slab redox budget, and therefore on the timing of subduction with regard to Earth ’ s surface oxygenation.","PeriodicalId":12613,"journal":{"name":"Geochemical Perspectives Letters","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2022-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44164007","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We name this new group the Tafassites, which form a continuum from equilibrated petrological type 6 chondrites (termed T6) to partially molten type 7 primitive achondrites (T7) and bear carbonaceous meteorite-like (C) mass-independent isotopic signatures. We use SIMS Pb – Pb Ca phosphate ages to model the Tafassite parent body (TPB) accretion at 1.1 + 0.3 − 0.4 Myr before rapid cooling to below ∼ 720 K within ∼ 9.0 ± 5.0 Myr after CAI formation, respectively. This scenario is consistent with other primitive achondrites but incompatible with a commonly assumed CR chondrite parent body, which was constrained by Al – Mg, Hf – W, and Pb – Pb chondrule ages up to > 3.7 Myr after CAIs. Given their carbonaceous-like affinity, Tafassites therefore constitute the first early accreted chondritic meteorite group from an outer region of the protoplanetary disc, presumably close to the further CR feeding zone. Our findings support that planetary formation in the outer protoplanetary disc evolved nearly coevally with the inner part of the disc, with limited admixing of inward material during planetesimal formation over 4 million years after CAIs.","PeriodicalId":12613,"journal":{"name":"Geochemical Perspectives Letters","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2022-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45125987","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Previous petrological and chemical analyses support a close link between Ryugu and CI chondrites that are presumed to be chemically the most primitive meteorites with a solar-like composition. However, Ryugu samples are highly enriched in Ca compared to typical CI chondrites. To identify the cause of this discrepancy, here we report stable Ca isotopic data (expressed as δ 44/40 Ca SRM915a ) for returned Ryugu samples collected from two sites. We found that samples from both sites have similar δ 44/40 Ca SRM915a (0.58 ± 0.03 ‰ and 0.55 ± 0.08 ‰ , 2 s.d.) that fall within the range defined by CIs. This isotopic similarity suggests that the Ca budget of CIs and Ryugu samples is dominated by carbonates, and the variably higher Ca contents in Ryugu samples are due to the abundant carbonates. Precipitation of carbonates on Ryugu likely coincided with a major episode of aqueous activity dated to have occurred ∼ 5 Myr after Solar System formation.

Long thought to be samples of the core-mantle boundary of differentiated asteroids, more recent studies have suggested a range of mechanisms for pallasite formation. These include olivine-metal mixing during a planetesimal collision and the intrusion of over-pressured core liquids into a planetesimal mantle. Establishing if the olivine and metal that comprise pallasites were once equilibrated at high temperature remains key to discriminating between these hypotheses. To this end, we determined the iron isotope compositions of olivine and metal in eleven main-group pallasites and found, in all cases, that olivine is isotopically lighter than metal. To interpret these data, we constrained the olivine-metal equilibrium Fe isotope fractionation with <em>ab initio</em> calculations and high temperature experiments. These independent approaches show that olivine preferentially incorporates the heavy isotopes of iron relative to metal. Our results demonstrate that pallasitic olivine and metal never achieved isotopic equilibrium with respect to iron. This precludes extended cooling at high temperature and is best reconciled with an impact origin for the main-group pallasites.","PeriodicalId":12613,"journal":{"name":"Geochemical Perspectives Letters","volume":"6 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2022-09-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138543171","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
