Chondrites:Deuterium, Deuterium:Chondrites

Scientific paper

The majority of sixteen type 3 ordinary chondrites studied contain D/H ratios above the typical terrestrial range. Detailed stepwise pyrolysis of one of the least metamorphosed ordinary chondrites, Semarkona, produces water from the 550°C - 650°C heating step which has a δD of +5740%. Although this is the most deuterium-rich composition yet encountered in a solar system material, it may not represent a limiting value. It is suggested that a deuterium enrichment of this magnitude may only be produced by ion-molecule reactions in interstellar clouds.
