The origin of unequilibrated EH chondrites – Constraints from in situ analysis of Si isotopes, major and trace elements in silicates and metal

Abstract: Various lines of evidence suggest that material isotopically similar to enstatite chondrites may have accreted to the terrestrial planets. However, the enrichment of light Si isotopes in bulk enstatite chondrites is not easy to reconcile with the heavy Si isotopic composition of the Bulk Silicate Earth (BSE). To investigate the origin of the light Si isotopic composition of enstatite chondrites, we have obtained in-situ Si isotope data and simultaneously major-and trace element data in silicate and metal phase… Show more

“…In some sense, with the first refractory-rich planetesimals we have identified the hidden reservoir of objects with the same isotope composition as the ECs but different chemical composition, that was postulated by Dauphas (2017) to explain the Earth. The opposite mass-dependent isotopic fractionation of Si in the Earth and ECs may be a natural consequence of the formation of the first condensates, as discussed by Kadlag et al (2019).…”

“…53 Mn-53 Cr Systematics of Physically Separated Components and Leachates Chromium in enstatite chondrites is mainly hosted in sulfides like daubréelite (Ramdohr, 1963) and troilite (Weyrauch et al, 2018;Zhang et al, 1995). In other sulfides as well as in silicates and metal, it can be a minor or trace element (Kadlag et al, 2019;Mason, 1966). MTSs from Sahara 97072 have lower ε 53 Cr and ε 54 Cr compared to all other fractions (Fig.…”

“…The ε 54 Cr variations among different inner solar system objects and among different components of chondrites can be explained by the incorporation of dust grains and pebbles with variable degrees of irradiation. Some of these components (e.g., MTS) may have formed in different environments (Kadlag et al, 2019) compared to the main components of the EH chondrite parent body. The lower ε 53 Cr and ε 54 Cr in the MTS fraction from an EC suggest shielding of bigger metal grains, possibly in an early formed planetary body, that was disrupted during collision and partly re-accreted.…”
