O-16 excesses in Murchison and Murray hibonites - a case against a late supernova injection origin of isotopic anomalies in O, Mg, Ca, and Ti

Ion probe measurements of the oxygen isotopic composition of seven hibonite samples from the CM chondrites Murchison and Murray are reported. All samples show large O-16 excesses relative to terrestrial oxygen. The data for all samples plot along the carbonaceous chondrite O-16-rich mixing line and show no evidence for isotopic mass fractionation effects characteristic of FUN inclusions. These hibonites have the largest Ca-48 and Ti-50 isotopic anomalies found to date; thus there is no intrinsic relationship between anomalies of a nucleosynthetic origin and isotopic mass fractionation effects. The large O-16 excess seen in the sample with the largest measured Ca-48 and Ti-50 depletions argues against a late injection of exotic material from a nearby supernova as a source for the isotopic anomalies. 38 references
