Abstract: | We report a discovery of a chemically and isotopically unique material distributed ubiquitously in fine-grained matrix of a primitive carbonaceous chondrite Acfer 094. The observations were made in situ using a novel high precision imaging technique adopted direct-imaging method. The material is extremely enriched in heavy oxygen isotopes of O-17 and O-18 of +18% relative to the Earth's ocean while previously reported variation of oxygen isotopes is as large as a range from -8% to 0%. Based on the unique chemical composition of the material, the abundance of the material in the meteorite matrix is calculated to be 94 ± 20 (σ) ppm by volume using elemental mapping with a 7 μm2 spatial resolution by FE-SEM-EDS on the meteorite thin section. The average size of identified materials is 5 x 5 x 5 μm3. Therefore, isotope imaging capability over 500 x 500 μm2 area with micron resolution and an isotopic ratio precision of 1 percent is required to investigate about the presence of such material. |
