Materials like this are examined in order to study the evolution of the lithospheric mantle underlying the North China Craton. Evidence suggests that the ancient lithospheric mantle that underlay China as late as the mid-Ordovician has been replaced by younger mantle sampled by the rock shown.

The anorthositic portion of this rock is characterized by very low abundances of highly siderophile elements, indicating that the Moon's long history of late accretion bombardment did not chemically modify the rock. The sample is, however, coated with a glass splash, consistent with impact melting of the rock.

Overview & History

The Isotope Geochemistry Laboratory (IGL) is part of the Department of Geology, University of Maryland (UMd). The IGL was created in 1991 by Profs. R. J. Walker and E. J. Krogstad to pursue state of the art isotopic and trace element analysis of terrestrial and extraterrestrial materials. Currently, the IGL comprises a set of five laboratories for the preparation and isotopic analysis of a wide range of geological materials. These laboratories include separate mass-spectrometry, chemistry, mineral separation and rock preparation facilities. The IGL began operations in 1991 with the acquisition of a 12 inch radius of curvature NBS single-collector, solid source mass spectrometer. In 1992, a VG Sector 54 mass spectrometer, with 7 Faraday collectors, was added to the complement of analytical tools. A third thermal ionization mass spectrometer, a Thermo Fisher Triton, with 9 Faraday cups, was installed in 2007. The NBS and VG mass spectrometers were retired from UMd service during the summer of 2014, ending their careers with us with 10,261 and 14,479 individual analyses, respectively. In their place, a Thermo Fisher Triton Plus was installed in the fall of 2014.

A second mass-spectrometry laboratory, shared with the Plasma Laboratory, houses a Thermo Fisher Neptune Plus multi-collector inductively-coupled plasma mass-spectrometer, as well as an Element 2 single collector ICP-MS. An overview of the types of research conducted within the IGL at UMd can be found at our research homepage.

The mission of the IGL is to produce the highest quality isotope data, to innovate in techniques development and applications, to train students and visitors in the techniques involved in gathering such data, and to maintain itself as a world-class isotope measurement facility.

Facilities

The Thermal Ionization Mass Spectrometry Laboratory (CHEM 0218) of the IGL currently houses two solid source mass spectrometers, two filament degassing apparatuses, and laminar flow clean benches for sample loading operations. Each mass spectrometer has dedicated ion optics sources for Re and Pt filaments.

Photo shows the UMd Thermo Fisher Triton mass spectrometers.

The Thermo Fisher Tritons were installed in 2007 and 2014. These instruments are primarily used for high precision measurements of W, Nd, Sr, Os, Ru, and Mo isotopes as applied to geological/cosmochemical projects.

The Neptune Plus multi-collector ICP-MS uses high temperature plasma to ionize elements that have been either chemically separated and purified from a material, or liberated from a solid matrix via laser ablation. The relative intensities of the different isotopes of a given element are quantified using either the multiple Faraday cups or an electron multiplier. This instrument is commonly used to measure the isotopic compositions of Mo, Li, W, Pt, Ru, Ir, Pd, and Re.

Most samples for isotopic analysis are processed (elements of interest are purified from matrix) in the Chemistry Clean Laboratories. Two 500 sq. ft. laboratories are supplied with HEPA-filtered air. Each contains class-10 vented laminar flow hoods, chemical fume hoods and multiple work stations (with fume extraction). The facility also utilizes two Milli-Q water purification systems, and currently operates three sub-boiling stills (quartz- and teflon).

The Sample Digestion Laboratory (CHEM0221) and Rock Preparation (CHEM0219) laboratories were last renovated in 2002-2003. The Rock Preparation lab houses short-term sample storage, a ceramic jaw crusher and disk mill, alloy mortar and pestle, rock splitter, SPEX Industries Shatterbox and Mixer Mill (both with agate and alumina grinding chambers), and a Leco diamond slow-speed saw for cutting iron meteorites. The Sample Digestion lab houses two ovens (one can achieve temperatures as high as 380°C), one muffle furnace, both oxy-propane and oxy-hydrogen torches (for sealing Pyrex and quartz Carius tubes) and an Anton-Paar high pressure asher (HPA). The HPA can be used for high temperature digestions of samples for Os isotope and highly siderophile element measurement.

The bench-top size of the HPA (b) and simple operational controls make it ideal for processing precious materials, where time and simple methods are of the essence.

Current Research in the IGL

Some of the main thrusts of research in the IGL include studies of the Earth's mantle and crust, and the evolution of the early solar system. Applications also target tectonic and environmental problems. The range of specific research topics currently active in the IGL include:

  • The evolution of siderophile elements in Earth's mantle and crust through time. Recent targets of interest include mafic-ultramafic rocks from South Africa (Barberton and Belingwe Greenstone Belt komatiites), Western Australia (komatiites of various ages from the Pilbara and Yilgarn Cratons), Colombia (Gorgona komatiites), Fennoscandia (komatiites and ophiolites of various ages), Canada (Abitibi Greenstone Belt komatiites), United Kingdom (Unst Ophiolite), Norway (Leka ophiolite), as well as modern oceanic rocks including abyssal peridotites and ocean island basalts.
  • Use of 182Hf-182W, 187Re-187Os, 190Pt-186Os, and 146,147Sm-142,143Nd isotope systems to study mantle heterogeneities resulting from primordial planetary differentiation processes and possible interactions between the Earth's core and lowermost mantle. Targeted rocks include ancient komatiites, kimberlites and modern ocean island basalts.
  • The chronology and chemical evolution of early solar system materials. Specific targets include iron meteorites, pallasites, chondrites, lunar mare volcanic glasses and basalts, lunar highland impact melt breccias, martian meteorites, and presolar grains. These studies include the application of short- and long-lived chronometers based on radioactive decay, and research on isotopic heterogeneities in meteorites and their implications for stellar nucleosynthesis, nebular mixing and early evolution of the solar system.
  • Study of peridotite xenoliths plucked from the subcontinental lithospheric mantle as a means of constraining the age of lithospheric mantle creation, assemblage and possible destruction (in some regions, such as underlying the North China Craton).
