芒硝石-榴石-闪长岩(Hed)非球粒陨石是一组陨石,可能起源于小行星灶神星。闪锌矿是一种复杂的多金属角砾岩,除了各种岩石碎屑外,有时还含有撞击熔融玻璃,显示出令人印象深刻的各种成分。本文报道了6个撒哈拉多金属角砾岩(4个多金属角砾岩和2个多金属角砾岩)的地球化学和氧同位素特征,以及在其中两个可能配对的西北非洲(NWA)1664和1769中发现的高K撞击球体的微量元素丰度。在辉长岩NWA1664和NWA1769中发现的高K撞击球粒显示了显著的微量元素模式。与榴辉石或钠锰矿相比,它们都表现出明显的Cs、Rb、K、Li和Ba的富集性,Na的强烈贫化,而REE和其他难熔元素的未分馏。这些特征不可能是在冲击熔化它们的主体辉石或其他普通HED靶材时产生的。贫钠岩石,以及可能是花岗岩成分的岩石,似乎都有可能参与其中。尽管目前还不能很好地约束这些岩性,但我们的结果表明,灶神星的表面肯定比之前认为的更加多样化。事实上,尽管有大量的HED陨石(大约1000种不同的陨石),但后者可能不足以描述它们母体的整个表面。
The howardite–eucrite–diogenite (HED) achondrites are a group of meteorites that probably originate from the asteroid Vesta. Howardites are complex polymict breccias that sometimes contain, in addition to various rock debris, impact melt glasses which show an impressive range of compositions. In this paper we report on the geochemistry and O isotopes of a series of 6 Saharan polymict breccias (4 howardites and 2 polymict eucrites), and on the trace element abundances of high-K impact spherules found in two of them, Northwest Africa (NWA) 1664 and 1769, which are likely paired. The high-K impact spherules found in the howardites NWA 1664 and NWA 1769 display remarkable trace element patterns. Compared to eucrites or howardites, they all show prominent enrichments in Cs, Rb, K, Li and Ba, strong depletion in Na, while the REE and other refractory elements are unfractionated. These features could not have been generated during impact melting of their host howardites, nor other normal HED target materials. The involvement of Na-poor rocks, and possibly rocks of granitic composition, appears likely. Although these lithologies cannot be well constrained at present, our results demonstrate that the surface of Vesta is certainly more diverse than previously thought. Indeed, despite the large number of available HED meteorites (about 1000 different meteorites), the latter are probably not sufficient to describe the whole surface of their parent body.
