Chu Z. Analytical Methods for Os Isotope Ratios and Re-PGE Mass Fractions in Geological Samples. Front Chem 2021; 8:615839. [PMID: 33681141 PMCID: PMC7925887 DOI: 10.3389/fchem.2020.615839] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/10/2020] [Accepted: 12/21/2020] [Indexed: 11/26/2022] Open
Abstract
The recent advances in analytical methods of Re-Os and PGE in geological materials including sample dissolution, chemical separation, mass spectrometric determinations, as well as the developments of matrix-matched reference materials for data quality control are thoroughly reviewed. Further, the in-situ measurement methods for Re-PGE mass fractions and 187Os/188Os ratios, as well as the measurement methods for stable isotope ratios of Re and PGE are also briefly reviewed. This review stands as a comprehensive reference for researchers to consider in the development of measurement methods for Re-PGE mass fractions and 187Os/188Os ratios in geological materials.

An extraterrestrial trigger for the mid-Ordovician ice age: Dust from the breakup of the L-chondrite parent body. SCIENCE ADVANCES 2019; 5:eaax4184. [PMID: 31555741 PMCID: PMC6750910 DOI: 10.1126/sciadv.aax4184] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/21/2019] [Accepted: 08/19/2019] [Indexed: 06/10/2023]
Abstract
The breakup of the L-chondrite parent body in the asteroid belt 466 million years (Ma) ago still delivers almost a third of all meteorites falling on Earth. Our new extraterrestrial chromite and 3He data for Ordovician sediments show that the breakup took place just at the onset of a major, eustatic sea level fall previously attributed to an Ordovician ice age. Shortly after the breakup, the flux to Earth of the most fine-grained, extraterrestrial material increased by three to four orders of magnitude. In the present stratosphere, extraterrestrial dust represents 1% of all the dust and has no climatic significance. Extraordinary amounts of dust in the entire inner solar system during >2 Ma following the L-chondrite breakup cooled Earth and triggered Ordovician icehouse conditions, sea level fall, and major faunal turnovers related to the Great Ordovician Biodiversification Event.
