Silicon isotopes in meteorites and planetary core formation

Abstract:

The silicon (Si) isotope compositions of 42 meteorite and terrestrial samples have been determined using MC-ICPMS with the aim of resolving the current debate over their compositions and the implications for core formation. No systematic δ30Si differences are resolved between chondrites (δ30Si=-0.49±0.15‰, 2σSD) and achondrites (δ30Si=-0.47±0.11‰, 2σSD), although enstatite chondrites are consistently lighter (δ30Si=-0.63±0.07‰, 2σSD) in comparison to other meteorite groups. The data reported ...
