摘要: Studies on SNC meteorites have permitted the characterization of modern Martian atmospheric components as well indigenous nitrogen and solar-type xenon. New isotopic elemental abundances noble gases in ALH84001 Chassigny provide important constraints early evolution planet. A primitive solar Xe component (Chass-S) an evolved (Chass-E), augmented with fission are identified Chassigny. Both represent interior reservoirs Mars characterized by low 129Xe/132Xe ( 130, respectively. Light (δ15N = −30‰) is associated Chass-S enriched melt inclusions olivine. An ancient (presumably incorporated ∼4 Gyr ago) has following signatures: 2.16, 36Ar/38Ar ≥ 5.0, 36Ar/132Xe ∼50, 84Kr/132Xe ∼6, δ15N 7‰. The trapped not isotopically fractionated. We observe major shifts signatures due to cosmogenic N both ALH84001. heavy comparable magnitude (δ15N>150‰) previously been interpreted (heavy) N.

Chronometric information regarding atmosphere can be secured from relative radiogenic Xe, ∼80% 129Xer ratio ago.
