Description

The delta18O and delta17O values of olivine from Kenna are 7.6 and 3.0 parts per thousand respectively, relative to SMOW. These values are typical of ureilites which form a unique group on a delta17O- delta18O graph. The ureilites are related to, but not directly derived from, the anhydrous phases of C2 and C3 meteorites. The 18O/16O fractionation between pyroxene and olivine is 0.60, indicating a temperature of last equilibration of 1000 +- 1000C. (author)
