Systematic iron isotope variations in mantle rocks and minerals: The effects of partial melting and oxygen fugacity

Abstract:: Iron isotopic compositions potentially provide a powerful new tracer of planetary formation and differentiation processes and of secular and spatial changes in mantle oxidation state. However, the processes governing iron isotope fractionation in igneous rocks remain poorly understood. Here we show that there are significant variations in the iron isotope compositions (δ57/54Fe) of mantle rocks (0.9‰) and minerals (olivines 0.6‰, clinopyroxenes 0.97permil; and orthopyroxenes 0.8‰), with spine...
