Abstract:
We describe fluid inclusions in five stony meteorites: diogenite ALHA 77256 and chondrites Bjurbole (H4), Faith (H5), Holbrook (L4), and Juin (H5). This brings to seven the number of stony meteorites in which fluid inclusions have been confirmed. The fluid inclusions in diogenite ALHA 77256 display a vapor bubble that decreases in volume from −180°C, the lowest temperature attainable in our microthermometric runs, to homogenization of liquid plus vapor to liquid. Homogenization temperatures are reproducible in each inclusion, and range from 25°C to over 225°C; some vapor plus liquid inclusions remain at 225°C, the highest temperature in our microthermetric experiments. On cooling, the fluid in some inclusions apparently freezes, as indicated by deformation and immobilization of the vapor bubble at low temperatures. However, temperatures of melting are difficult to observe and are not reproducible. Preliminary laser Raman spectroscopy shows symmetric and antisymmetric stretch bands characteristic of H 2 O. Microthermometric data suggest that the fluid in diogenite ALHA 77256 is aqueous with a high solute content. Fluid inclusions discovered in four chondrites have similar properties.
