Scientific paper
Major enrichments in deuterium (D) relative to terrestrial and proposed nebula compositions have been discerned by the examination of specific phases within various meteorite samples. High and variable D enrichments are reported in two of the most unequilibrated, or unmetamorphosed, type LL3 ordinary chondrites, Bishunpur and Semarkona. Water released from bulk unseparated material by pyrolysis has delta-D values of up to about 3000% relative to standard mean ocean water (SMOW), or an absolute D/H ratio of about 60,000. Because one of the highest D contents yet encountered for a solar system species has therefore been observed without considering a specific fraction of a sample, these meteorites (1) either contain a greater proportion of the D-rich phase first recognized in meteorite separates, or (2) a small fraction having an even higher D content resides within them.
