Iron is one element that shows apparent differences between the two bodies, with models for the composition of the Moon having \u22481.5 times more FeO (12\u201314 wt.%), relative to the Earth's mantle (8 wt.%). This difference is mirrored in their isotope compositions, where lunar mare basalts have \u03b457Fe (per mille deviation of the 57Fe/54Fe ratio from the IRMM-014 standard) 0.1\u20130.2\u2030 higher than peridotitic rocks representative of Earth's mantle, a feature initially attributed to loss of isotopically light Fe following a giant impact. However, whether basaltic rocks are suitable analogues for the Moon's composition is debatable in the light of their distinct source regions that reflect the extensive lithological stratification of the lunar mantle. Here, we evaluate the iron isotope composition of the bulk Moon through the study of igneous cumulate rocks of the lunar highlands Magnesium Suite (Mg Suite). The \u03b457Fe of Mg Suite rocks spans a limited range, from 0.05\u2030 to 0.10\u2030, with an average (   +  0.07  \u00b1  0.02  \u2030   ) that overlaps with Earth's mantle (   +  0.05  \u00b1  0.01  \u2030   ), similarities that extend to their Mg#s, where both reach 0.9. Numerical modelling of iron isotope fractionation during lunar magma ocean crystallisation shows that the Mg Suite should accurately reflect the composition of the bulk Moon, which is therefore    +  0.07  \u00b1  0.02  \u2030   , indistinguishable from Earth's mantle but heavier than chondrites (   \u2212  0.01  \u00b1  0.01  \u2030   ). Iron thus behaves coherently with other elements that condense at temperatures higher than Li in showing no isotopic difference between the Earth and Moon, suggesting element depletion on the Moon affected only the more volatile elements. Therefore, there is no cosmochemical basis for iron enrichment or depletion in the bulk Moon relative to the Earth's mantle, whose composition is an analogue for that of the Moon.", "keywords": ["[SDU] Sciences of the Universe [physics]", "iron", "13.

However, the 54Cr isotope composition of the Moon relies on 2 samples only, which define an average value that is slightly different from the terrestrial standard. Here, by determining the Cr isotopic composition of 17 lunar, 9 terrestrial and 5 enstatite chondrite samples, we re-assess the isotopic similarity between these different planetary bodies, and provide the first robust estimate for the Moon. In average, terrestrial and enstatite samples show similar eps_54Cr. On the other hand, lunar samples show variables excesses of 53Cr and 54Cr compared to terrestrial and enstatite chondrites samples with correlated eps_53Cr and eps_54Cr (per 10,000 deviation of the 53Cr/52Cr and 54Cr/52Cr ratios normalized to the 50Cr/52Cr ratio from Cr standard). Unlike previous suggestions, we show for the first time that cosmic irradiation can affect significantly the Cr isotopic composition of lunar materials. Moreover, we also suggest that rather than spallation reactions, neutron capture effects are the dominant process controlling the Cr isotope composition of lunar igneous rocks. This is supported by the correlation between eps_53Cr and eps_54Cr, and 150Sm/152Sm ratios. After correction of these effects, the average eps_54Cr of the Moon is indistinguishable from the terrestrial and enstatite chondrite materials reinforcing the idea of an Earth-Moon-Enstatite chondrite system homogeneity.

We report Cu and Fe isotope data for 66095 and find that bulk-rocks, residues and acid leaches span a relatively limited range of compositions (3.0\u202f\u00b1\u202f1.3\u202fwt.% FeO [range\u202f=\u202f2.0\u20134.8\u202fwt.%], 5.4\u202f\u00b1\u202f3.1\u202fppm Cu [range\u202f=\u202f3\u201312\u202fppm], average \u03b456Fe of 0.15\u202f\u00b1\u202f0.05\u2030 [weighted mean\u202f=\u202f0.156\u2030] and \u03b465Cu of 0.72\u202f\u00b1\u202f0.14\u2030 [weighted mean\u202f=\u202f0.78\u2030]). In contrast to the extreme enrichment of the light isotopes of Zn and heavy isotopes of Cl in 66095, \u03b465Cu and \u03b456Fe in the sample lie within the previously reported range for lunar mare basalts (0.92\u202f\u00b1\u202f0.16\u2030 and 0.12\u202f\u00b1\u202f0.02\u2030, respectively). The lack of extreme isotopic fractionation for Cu and Fe isotopes reflects compositions inherent to 66095, with condensation of a cooling gas from impact-generated fumarolic activity at temperatures too low to lead to the condensation of Cu and Fe in the sample, but higher than required to condense Zn. Together with thermodynamic models, these constraints suggest that the gas condensed within 66095 between 700 and 900\u202f\u00b0C (assuming a pressure of 10\u22126 and an fO2 of IW-2). That the Cu and Fe isotopic compositions of sample 66095 are within the range of mare basalts removes the need for an exotic, volatile-enriched source.

The volatile-rich character of 66095 is consistent with impact-generated fumarolic activity in the region of the Cayley Plains, demonstrating that volatile-rich rocks can occur on the lunar surface from outgassing of a volatile-poor lunar interior. The \u2018Rusty Rock\u2019 indicates that the lunar interior is significantly depleted in volatile elements and compounds and that volatile-rich surface rocks likely formed through vapor condensation.

Zinc is an especially useful MVE because of its generally elevated abundances in planetary basalts, relative to other MVE, and limited evidence for mass-dependent isotopic fractionation under high-temperature igneous processes. Compared with terrestrial basalts, which have  \u03b4  66 Zn values (per mille deviation of the  66 Zn/ 64 Zn ratio from the JMC-Lyon standard) similar to some chondrite meteorites (\u223c+0.3\u2030), lunar mare basalts yield a mean  \u03b4  66 Zn value of +1.4\u00a0\u00b1\u00a00.5\u2030 (2\u00a0st. dev.). Furthermore, mare basalts have average Zn concentrations \u223c50 times lower than in typical terrestrial basaltic rocks. Late-stage lunar magmatic products, including ferroan anorthosite, Mg- and Alkali-suite rocks have even higher  \u03b4  66 Zn values (+3 to +6\u2030). Differences in Zn abundance and isotopic compositions between lunar and terrestrial rocks have previously been interpreted to reflect evaporative loss of Zn, either during the Earth\u2013Moon forming Giant Impact, or in a lunar magma ocean (LMO) phase. To explore the mechanisms and processes under which volatile element loss may have occurred during a LMO phase, we developed models of Zn isotopic fractionation that are generally applicable to planetary magma oceans. Our objective was to identify conditions that would yield a  \u03b4  66 Zn signature of \u223c+1.4\u2030 within the lunar mantle. For the sake of simplicity, we neglect possible Zn isotopic fractionation during the Giant Impact, and assumed a starting composition equal to the composition of the present-day terrestrial mantle, assuming both the Earth and Moon had zinc \u2018consanguinity\u2019 following their formation. We developed two models: the first simulates evaporative fractionation of Zn only prior to LMO mixing and crystallization; the second simulates continued evaporative fractionation of Zn that persists until \u223c75% LMO crystallization. The first model yields a relatively homogenous bulk solid LMO  \u03b4  66 Zn value, while the second results in a stratification of  \u03b4  66 Zn values within the LMO sequence. Loss and/or isolation mechanisms for volatiles are critical to these models; hydrodynamic escape was not a dominant process, but loss of a nascent lunar atmosphere or separation of condensates into a proto-lunar crust are possible mechanisms by which volatiles could be separated from the lunar interior. The results do not preclude models that suggest a lunar volatile depletion episode related to the Giant Impact. Conversely, LMO models for volatile loss do not require loss of volatiles prior to lunar formation. Outgassing during planetary magma ocean phases likely played a profound role in setting the volatile inventories of planets, particularly for low mass bodies that experienced the greatest volatile loss. In turn, our results suggest that the initial compositions of planets that accreted from smaller, highly differentiated planetesimals were likely to be severely volatile depleted.", "keywords": ["[SDU] Sciences of the Universe [physics]", "Zinc", "Magma ocean", "Isotopes", "Volatile depletion", "13.

The detailed processes and conditions surrounding this episode remain obscured and are not unified by a single model for all volatile elements and compounds. Using available data, including new Zn isotope data for eight lunar samples, we demonstrate that the isotopic fractionation of MVE in the Moon is best expressed by nonideal Rayleigh distillation, approaching the fractionation factor \uffce\uffb1 using the reduced masses of the evaporated isotopologs. With these calculations, a best fit for the data is obtained when the lunar MVE isotope data are normalized to ordinary or enstatite chondrites (                                                                 ), rather than a bulk silicate Earth composition. This analysis further indicates that the parent body from which the Moon formed cannot have partitioned S into its core based on S isotope compositions of lunar rocks. The best fit between                                                                   and modeled nonideal Rayleigh fractionation is defined by a slope that corresponds to a saturation index of 90%\uffc2\uffa0\uffc2\uffb1\uffc2\uffa04%. In contrast, the older Highland suite is defined by a saturation index of 75%\uffc2\uffa0\uffc2\uffb1\uffc2\uffa02%, suggesting that the vapor phase pressure was higher during mare basalt eruptions. This provides the first tangible evidence that the Moon was veiled by a thin atmosphere during mare basalt eruption events spanning at least from 3.8 to 3 billion years ago and implies that MVE isotope fractionation dominantly occurred after the Moon had accreted.</p>", "keywords": ["Earth and Planetary Astrophysics (astro-ph.EP)", "0301 basic medicine", "0303 health sciences", "The Moon", "Lunar atmosphere", "FOS: Physical sciences", "Lunar evolution", "01 natural sciences", "[SDU] Sciences of the Universe [physics]", "03 medical and health sciences", "Earth-moon system", "13.
