Mass-dependent nickel isotopic variations in achondrites and lunar rocks

Shui-Jiong Wang et al.

Summary: We present high-precision mass-dependent nickel isotopic data for a comprehensive suite of achondrites and lunar rocks, providing insight into early planetary differentiation and Earth-Moon system formation. The primitive achondrites have high Ni contents and invariant Ni isotopic compositions, indicating incomplete core-mantle differentiation. Acid leaching experiments on aubrites reveal that sulfides are a significant host of light Ni isotopes. Late accretion and impact contamination can obscure the Ni isotope signature in achondrite records.

Heterogeneous nickel isotope compositions of the terrestrial mantle-Part 2: Mafic lithologies

Naomi J. Saunders et al.

Summary: This study reports stable nickel isotope compositions of mafic lavas and finds that ocean island basalts from different locations have varying nickel isotope compositions, suggesting that mafic rocks may preserve the isotopic signature of their mantle source.

Cu and Ni Isotope Variations of Country Rock-Hosted Massive Sulfides Located Near Midcontinent Rift Intrusions

Joshua M. Smith et al.

Summary: The study measured Cu and Ni isotope ratios from Ni-Cu-PGE massive sulfides in sedimentary country rocks near intrusions within the Midcontinent rift system, providing insights into metal sources, high-temperature metal isotope fractionation, and magmatic processes. The results suggest possible factors like crustal contamination and fractional crystallization influencing the Cu and Ni isotope ratios in the sulfides.

Nickel and Chromium Stable Isotopic Composition of Ureilites: Implications for the Earth's Core Formation and Differentiation of the Ureilite Parent Body

Ke Zhu et al.

Summary: This study reports the first Ni and Cr stable isotope data for ureilite meteorites, indicating that the mantle residue of a carbon-rich differentiated planet (UPB) did not fractionate Ni isotopes. It also suggests that the heavy Cr in UPB compared to chondrites may be caused by sulfur-rich core formation processes.

Nickel isotope fractionation in komatiites and associated sulfides in the hart deposit, Late Archean Abitibi Greenstone Belt, Canada

R. S. Hiebert et al.

Summary: Studies have shown the existence of Ni isotope fractionation mechanisms in the Fe-Ni-Cu sulfide system associated with komatiite, resulting in varying 860Ni values when exchange occurs between the silicate and sulfide liquids. The concentration of sulfide minerals significantly affects the Ni concentration and 860Ni values in rocks.

The effect of alkalinity on Ni-O bond length in silicate glasses: Implications for Ni isotope geochemistry

Martijn Klaver et al.

Summary: The isotopic fractionation of nickel between minerals and silicate melt is controlled by the alkalinity of the melt, with more alkaline melts showing a stronger preference for heavy isotopes. However, the variation in nickel isotopic fractionation caused by melt alkalinity is small and can be disregarded at magmatic temperatures.

Nickel isotopic composition of the upper continental crust

Guangliang Wu et al.

Summary: This study establishes the Ni isotopic composition of the upper continental crust (UCC) and reveals significant variations in different rock types and sediments. The variations are attributed to magmatic differentiation and source heterogeneity. The results also suggest limited variation in the Ni isotopes of the UCC since 3.5 Ga.

Nickel isotopic evidence for late-stage accretion of Mercury-like differentiated planetary embryos

Shui-Jiong Wang et al.

Summary: During Earth's late-stage accretion, impactors delivered most of the volatiles, with nickel serving as an important tracer. Research has found that the BSE has a lighter nickel isotopic composition compared to chondrites, suggesting that this sub-chondritic signature was established during the Moon-forming giant impact.

Origins and implications of magnesium isotopic heterogeneity in Fe-Ti oxides in layered mafic intrusions

Lie-Meng Chen et al.

Summary: By studying the Mg isotopic compositions of magnetite in the Baima layered mafic intrusion in Southwest China, large variations of Mg isotopes were observed in oxide-rich and oxide-barren rocks. The mechanisms controlling the Mg isotopic variation differ between the two rock types, highlighting the importance of different processes in governing the isotopic variations in magmatic Fe-Ti oxides in layered mafic intrusions.
