We measured the Eu-153/Eu-151 ratio by MC-ICP-MS for a terrestrial basalt, two terrestrial soils, and four meteorites (whole rocks and/ or chondrules of Bjurbole, Forest City, Murchison, and Allende) and found no isotopic variations. By contrast, two CAI separates from two different pieces of Allende show a Eu-153 deficit of up to one per mil. Such a shortage in the heavy isotopes, which had also been identified in Allende CAIs for Sr [Patchett, P.J. 1980b. Sr isotopic fractionation in Allende chondrules: a reflection of solar nebular processes. Earth Planet. Sci. Lett. 50, 181-188], cannot reflect evaporative fractionation. The lack of Sm isotope fractionation in the same samples further makes fractionation by purely kinetic processes an unlikely cause of the anomalous Eu isotopic composition. An alternative interpretation is condensation from a vapor already significantly depleted in Eu, but in such a scenario the fate of the missing material is unclear. We therefore prefer yet another interpretation, based on the low ionization potential of Eu (and Sr), in which electromagnetic separation of the ionized gas preferentially depletes the nebular gas in heavy isotopes.
