Title: Multistage Core Formation in Planetesimals Revealed by Numerical Modeling and Hf-W Chronometry of Iron Meteorites

Abstract

Iron meteorites provide some of the most direct insights into the processes and timescales of core formation in planetesimals. Of these, group IVB irons stand out by having one of the youngest ¹⁸²Hf-¹⁸²W model ages for metal segregation (2.9 ± 0.6 Ma after solar system formation), as well as the lowest bulk sulfur content and hence highest liquidus temperature. Here in this paper, using a new model for the internal evolution of the IVB parent body, we show that a single stage of metal-silicate separation cannot account for the complete melting of pure Fe metal at the relatively late time given by the Hf-W model age. Instead, a complex metal-silicate separation scenario is required that includes migration of partial silicate melts, formation of a shallow magma ocean, and core formation in two distinct stages of metal segregation. In the first stage, a protocore formed at ≈1.5 Ma via settling of metal particles in a mantle magma ocean, followed by metal segregation from a shallow magma ocean at ≈5.4 Ma. As these stages of metal segregation occurred at different times, the two metal fractions had different ¹⁸²W compositions. Consequently, the final 182W composition of the IVB core does not correspond tomore »« less

Of these, group IVB irons stand out by having one of the youngest 182Hf-182W model ages for metal segregation (2.9 ± 0.6 Ma after solar system formation), as well as the lowest bulk sulfur content and hence highest liquidus temperature. Here in this paper, using a new model for the internal evolution of the IVB parent body, we show that a single stage of metal-silicate separation cannot account for the complete melting of pure Fe metal at the relatively late time given by the Hf-W model age. Instead, a complex metal-silicate separation scenario is required that includes migration of partial silicate melts, formation of a shallow magma ocean, and core formation in two distinct stages of metal segregation.

As these stages of metal segregation occurred at different times, the two metal fractions had different 182W compositions. Consequently, the final 182W composition of the IVB core does not correspond to a single differentiation event, but represents the average composition of early- and late-segregated core fractions. Our best fit model indicates an ≈100 km radius for the IVB parent body and provides an accretion age of ≈0.1–0.5 Ma after solar system formation. The computed solidification time is, furthermore, consistent with the Re-Os age for crystallization of the IVB core.},

Age and origin of IIE iron meteorites inferred from Hf-W chronology

Journal Article Kruijer, Thomas S. ; Kleine, Thorsten - Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta

Non-magmatic iron meteorites, including the IIE group, can provide important insights into the history of metal-silicate differentiation and collisions on planetesimals. To better constrain the evolution of metal segregation and impacts on the IIE parent body, W isotopic data are reported for 10 IIE iron meteorites and a metal vein from the Portales Valley H6 chondrite. In addition, Pt isotopic data were obtained to quantify cosmic ray-induced neutron capture effects on W isotopes. After correction for these effects, the IIE iron meteorites exhibit variable pre-exposure 182W compositions, translating into Hf-W model age clusters of ~4–5 million years (Ma), ~10 Ma,more »« less

Nickel-rich, volatile depleted iron meteorites: Relationships and formation processes

Journal Article Corrigan, Carl M. ; Nagashima, K. ; Hilton, Connor D. ; ... - Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta

Ungrouped iron meteorites Tishomingo, Willow Grove, and Chinga, and group IVB iron meteorites, are Ni-rich. Similarities include enrichments of 10–100 × CI for some refractory siderophile elements, and equivalent depletions in more volatile siderophile elements. Superimposed on the overall enrichment/depletion trend, certain siderophile elements (P, W, Fe, Mo) are depleted relative to elements of similar volatility. All three ungrouped irons derive from parent bodies formed in the early Solar System. Willow Grove and Chinga are characterized by cosmic ray exposure corrected ¹⁸²W/¹⁸⁴W consistent with metal-silicate segregation on their parent bodies within 1–3 Myr of Solar System formation, within the agemore »« less

Siderophile element constraints on the thermal history of the H chondrite parent body

Journal Article Archer, Gregory J. ; Walker, Richard J. ; Tino, Jonathan ; ... - Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta

The abundances of highly siderophile elements (HSE: Re, Os, Ir, Ru, Pt, Pd), as well as ¹⁸⁷Re-¹⁸⁷Os and ¹⁸²Hf-¹⁸²W isotopic systematics were determined for separated metal, slightly magnetic, and nonmagnetic fractions from seven H4 to H6 ordinary chondrites. The HSE are too abundant in nonmagnetic fractions to reflect metal-silicate equilibration. The disequilibrium was likely a primary feature, as ¹⁸⁷Re-¹⁸⁷Os data indicate only minor open-system behavior of the HSE in the slightly and non-magnetic fractions. ¹⁸²Hf-¹⁸²W data for slightly magnetic and nonmagnetic fractions define precise isochrons for most meteorites that range from 5.2 ± 1.6 Ma to 15.2 ± 1.0 Mamore »« less

Onset of magma ocean solidification on Mars inferred from Mn-Cr chronometry

Journal Article Kruijer, Thomas S. ; Borg, Lars E. ; Wimpenny, Josh ; ... - Earth and Planetary Science Letters

The mantle of Mars probably differentiated through the crystallization of a magma ocean during the first tens of million years (Ma) of Solar System evolution. However, the exact timescale of large-scale silicate differentiation of the martian mantle is debated, and in particular, it remains unclear when differentiation commenced. In this paper, we applied the short-lived ⁵³Mn-⁵³Cr system to martian meteorites in order to date the onset of large-scale mantle differentiation on Mars. The new Cr isotope data demonstrate that martian meteorites exhibit no resolvable radiogenic ⁵³Cr variations, and instead have a uniform +20.2±1.2 (95% conf.) parts-per-million excess in ⁵³Cr/⁵²Cr relativemore »« less

Tungsten and molybdenum isotopic evidence for an impact origin of pallasites

Journal Article Kruijer, Thomas S. ; Burkhardt, Christoph ; Borg, Lars E. ; ... - Earth and Planetary Science Letters

The origin of pallasites—stony-iron meteorites mainly composed of olivine and Fe-Ni metal—is debated and proposed formation scenarios broadly range from models that explain pallasite formation by internal processes in the mantle of a differentiated planetesimal to those that involve impact–induced mixing of core and mantle materials. Here, the origin of pallasites is examined by studying the nebular source regions of their precursor material using Mo isotopes and their history of metal-silicate segregation using Hf-W chronometry. We report new Mo and W isotopic data for a large suite of pallasite metal samples, alongside Pt isotope data to quantify superimposed cosmic raymore »« less
