Low abundances of highly siderophile elements in the lunar mantle: evidence for prolonged late accretion

Low abundances of highly siderophile elements in the lunar mantle: evidence for prolonged late accretion

Abundances of the highly siderophile elements (HSE) Re, Ir, Os, Ru, Pt and Pd were determined for etchates and residues of highly purified lunar orange (74220 and 74001,1217 and 1218) and green (15421,65 and 15426,164) volcanic glasses. Most etchates have >100 pg/g Os and Ir, and in some instance...

Zusammenfassung:Abundances of the highly siderophile elements (HSE) Re, Ir, Os, Ru, Pt and Pd were determined for etchates and residues of highly purified lunar orange (74220 and 74001,1217 and 1218) and green (15421,65 and 15426,164) volcanic glasses. Most etchates have >100 pg/g Os and Ir, and in some instances have HSE concentrations that approach chondritic relative abundances. Some etchates also have 187Os/ 188Os within the range of chondritic meteorites. In contrast, most residues have Os concentrations of
