英文摘要: Compared to the composition of CI chondrites and the Sun, all other carbonaceous chondrites are variably depleted in volatile elements. However, the origin of these depletions, and how they are related to volatile loss during high-temperature processes within the solar nebula, are unclear. To better understand the processes that caused volatile element fractionations among carbonaceous chondrites, we obtained mass-dependent Te isotopic compositions and Te concentrations for a comprehensive set of samples from the major carbonaceous chondrite groups. The chondrites exhibit well-resolved inter-group Te isotope variations towards lighter isotopic compositions for increasingly volatile-depleted samples. The Te isotopic compositions and concentrations are also correlated with the mass fraction of matrix and with nucleosynthetic ε54Cr anomalies. Combined, these correlations indicate mixing between volatile-rich, isotopically heavy, and 54Cr-rich CI-like matrix with volatile-poor, isotopically light, and 54Cr-poorer chondrules or chondrule precursors. The Te-Cr isotopic correlation suggests that all carbonaceous chondrites contain CI-like matrix, and that chondrules and this CI-like matrix formed from isotopically distinct material originating from different regions of the disk. The only samples plotting off the Te-Cr correlation are CR chondrites, indicating that CR chondrules formed from different precursor material than chondrules from other carbonaceous chondrites, either because they formed at greater heliocentric distance and/or at a later time. Plots of volatile element abundances versus matrix mass fraction reveal that chondrules/chondrule precursors display CI-chondritic ratios for volatile elements with 50% condensation temperatures below ∼750 K, with an overall abundance of ∼0.13 × CI. Mixing between these two components, therefore, naturally results in CI-like ratios for these elements in all carbonaceous chondrites, in spite of different degrees of volatile depletion. A corollary of this observation is that the CI-like ratios of volatile elements in the bulk silicate Earth may result from the accretion of volatile-depleted materials and do not require accretion of CI chondrites themselves. © 2020 Elsevier B.V.
