Europium valence state distributions in equilibrated ordinary chondrites
Chicago
Abstract
It has been recognized for 30 years that the presence of Eu anomalies in REE patterns is due to the presence of divalent Eu, unique among the REE. However, it has not previously been possible to infer quantitative Eu^(+2)/Eu^(+3) ratios in natural samples. We have used ion probe data for lithophile trace elements for the phases in equilibrated ordinary chondrites [Guareiia (H6), Marion (L6) and St. Sevérin (LL6)] to perform mass-balance calculations that yield relatively precise Eu^(+2)/Eu^(+3) ratios.
