On the formation of Fe-Ni metal in Renazzo-like carbonaceous chondrites

The Fe-Ni metal within chondrites has been postulated to have originated either through condensation or as a byproduct of chondrule formation. To test these hypotheses, we studied metal in three Renazzo-like carbonaceous (CR2) chondrites from three petrographic settings: inside chondrules, on chondr...

description The Fe-Ni metal within chondrites has been postulated to have originated either through condensation or as a byproduct of chondrule formation. To test these hypotheses, we studied metal in three Renazzo-like carbonaceous (CR2) chondrites from three petrographic settings: inside chondrules, on chondrule rims, and in the matrix. Abundances of Fe, Ni, Co, Cr, and P were determined in situ by electron microprobe, and those of Os, It, Pt, and Au were measured by a newly developed ion microprobe technique. The refractory platinum group elements Os, Ir, and Pt behave coherently in CR2 metal. They are either all enriched, all depleted, or unfractionated with respect to Fe and cosmic ratios. Metal with approximately CI Os/Fe, Ir/Fe, and Pt/Fe occur primarily in chondrule interiors. All metal grains have essentially CI values of Ni/Fe and Co/Fe. Almost all metal grains have lower-than-CI ratios of the volatile elements, Au and P. We also estimated the bulk compositions via analyses of phases and modal recombination of a subset of the chondrules whose metal we analyzed. The bulk compositions of chondrules are generally unfractionated relative to CI chondrites for elements more refractory than approximately Cr but are depleted in more volatile elements. Abundances of siderophile elements correlate strongly with the metal abundance in the chondrules, which implies that siderophile depletions are due to expulsion of metal from the chondrule melts.
