dc.description.abstract | The intrinsic oxygen fugacity (IOF) of olivine separates from the Salta, Springwater, and Eagle Station pallasites was measured between 850 and 1150[deg]C using oxygen-specific solid zirconia electrolytes at 105 Pa. The experimental apparatus consisted of a double-opposed electrolyte configuration with a CO-CO2 gas-mix bridging atmosphere. Four initial IOF measurements on Salta olivines revealed the effects of grain size and cell memory on experimental results; experiments with an IW cell memory and fine grain size (log fO2), contains Fa12.5 and Fe90.5Ni9.0; Springwater, of intermediate redox state (~IW), contains Fa18.0 and Fe87.5Ni12.1; Eagle Station, the most oxidized sample (IW + 0.5 logfO2), contains Fa20.5 and Fe85.0Ni14.6. Electron microbeam characterization of the starting materials and run products from these experiments have shown that olivine is the only phase present. Thermodynamic calculations of redox equilibria involving equilibrium pallasite assemblages are in good agreement with our experimental results and provide a lower limit to pallasite redox stability; others involving disequilibrium assemblages, suggest that pallasites experienced localized, late-stage oxidation and reduction effects. Consideration of the redox buffer metal-olivine-orthopyroxene utilizing calculated Eucrite Parent Body (EPB) mantle phase compositions indicates that small redox gradients may have existed in the EPB. Such gradients may have produced strong compositional variation within the EPB. In addition, there is apparently significant redox heterogeneity in the source area of Eagle Station Trio (EST) pallasites and Bocaiuva iron meteorites. | en_US |
