英文摘要 | This paper reports the dating of basalt clasts from an Apollo lunar soil sample (E21) collected in the Geological Museum, the Institute of Geology and Geophysics, Chinese Academy of Sciences. Due to the small size of the clasts, the previous method of constructing conventional Pb-Pb isochron with a single rock chip to determine the age of Apollo samples cannot be used. We have adopted the technical method of defining the age of basalt clasts with a single Zr-bearing mineral (baddeleyite, zirconolite and tranquillityite). Firstly, the rock clasts with Zr-bearing minerals are selected according to the X-ray penetration of mu-XRF. Secondly, the resin sample target is made for fine polishing. The Zr-bearing minerals exposed to the surface are located by means of scanning electron microscope Zr signal mapping. Lastly, the Pb isotopic compositions of Zr-bearing minerals were obtained by the analysis technology of ion probe similar to 31 mu m beam spot and a multi-collection mode for Pb signal to calculate the age. Four age groups of rocks were identified, namely 3570 +/- 14Ma, 3700 +/- 8Ma, 3850 +/- 5Ma and 3900 +/- 12Ma. The first three ages are consistent with the age distribution of basalt in Apollo 11 lunar soil, so it can be determined that this sample is from Apollo 11 lunar soil. The last one is a newly discovered component. According to the composition of feldspar (An = 93) and pyroxene (Mg-# similar to 79) , it is identified as magnesian suite origin norite. In addition, according to the Pb isotope analysis of the main minerals, the vast majority of basalt class fall on the Pb-Pb isochron of similar to 3570Ma, indicating that this period of basalt is the main volcanic activity event in the Apollo 11 sampling area, which provides a basis for the age selection on the dating curve of the crater-counting chronology. |
