| Abstract | Impact glasses are abundant in the lunar regolith, and Mg isotopes have the potential to trace components from various lunar crustal reservoirs, which have recently been shown to exhibit large Mg isotopic fractionations. However, it remains unclear whether Mg isotopic fractionation occurs during the formation of impact glasses. In this study, we report in situ Mg isotopic and elemental compositional data for agglutinatic glasses returned by the Chang'e 5 mission and obtained using the laser ablation split stream technique. Vesicular textures, Fe-Ni alloys, tiny Fe droplets, and high Ni contents suggest the studied agglutinatic glasses had an impact origin. The agglutinatic glasses exhibit large Mg isotopic fractionation, with delta 26Mg values ranging from -1.36 %o to -0.01 %o. The lack of correlations between delta 26Mg values, Ni contents, and ratios between volatile and relatively refractory elements (K/La, Rb/Sr, and Ce/Pb) indicate the addition of a meteoritic component and evaporation was not the major process responsible for the measured Mg isotopic variations. In fact, the MgO profiles and correlations between delta 26Mg and MgO, Na2O, Sc, Sr, CaO/Al2O3, and delta Eu reflect Mg isotopic fractionation caused by Mg diffusion from a region with high Mg contents (i.e., more melted pyroxene) to one with lower contents (i.e., more melted plagioclase). Diffusion modeling shows that the duration of diffusion was less than a fraction of a second. Our results indicate that chemical diffusion can produce large Mg isotopic fractionation in impact glasses on a scale of at least tens of microns, and that isotopic fractionation driven by chemical diffusion needs to be considered when the Mg isotopic compositions of impact glasses are used to identify different lunar rock reservoirs. |
