摘 要:We measured the hydrogen isotopes and water contents of melt inclusions and apatite that locate far from shock-induced melt veins in the Martian meteorite GRV 020090,using nano-scale secondary ion mass spectrometry(nano SIMS).The melt inclusions in olivine show hydration profiles,with both the water contents and the d D values increasing from the cores(2r)(170±7 ppm and 3386±126&)to the rims(5337±200 ppm and 5519±65&).The extremely high d D values of the melt inclusions relative to a maximum of 4239±81&of apatite that crystallized from the last residual melt convincingly argue that the observed hydration postdated emplacement of the parent magma of GRV *** is also a robust line of evidence for past-presence of liquid water on *** simulation of the hydration profiles of both water contents and d D values constrains the duration of liquid water up to 130,000–250,000 years at 0°C or 700–1,500 years at 40°*** analyses of the melt inclusions,including the hydration profiles,show a logarithmic correlation between the water contents and the d D values,plotting within a two-endmember mixing *** extremely D-enriched endmember represents Martian underground water,with a d D value of 6034±72&(2r).This is the highest d D value reported in Martian meteorites and it is consistent with the recent analyses of Martian soils by the Curiosity rover(Leshin et al.,2013),suggestive of more water escaped from Mars than previous *** analyses of apatite show a distinct positive correlation between the water contents(0.10–0.58 wt%)and the d D values(737–4239&),which can be explained by assimilation of D-rich Martian crustal materials and enhancement of water via fractional *** observed correlation suggests that the water contents of Martian mantle reservoirs might have been overestimated from D-enriched apatite in previous *** estimation based on the least contaminated apatite grains from GRV 020090 turned out a low water content of
