Scientific paper

High-precision sulfur isotopic analyses (delta S-33, delta S-34, and delta S-36) of bulk ordinary and enstatite chondrites demonstrate that systematic variations exist. The average delta S-34 values are -0.26 +/- 0.07, -0.02 +/- 0.06, and 0.49 +/- 0.16 percent for enstatite and ordinary and carbonaceous chondrites, respectively. Isotopic variations of different sample specimens of primitive meteorites, e.g., Qingzhen and Abee, were observed which may be attributed to heterogeneity in the early solar nebula. Sulfur isotopic fractionations in both bulk samples and mineral separates are mass-dependent, and no nuclear isotopic anomalies were detected. The sulfur isotopic compositions of both mineral and density separates were measured. The sulfur isotopic compositions of separated chondrules from Chainpur and Bjurbole are reported. Significant isotopic difference for the chondrules from the bulk meteorite are noted for both meteorites.
