摘要

Spurred by the discovery of water in lunar volcanic glasses about a decade ago, the accessory mineral apatite became the primary target to investigate the abundance and source of lunar water. This is due to its ability to contain significant amounts of OH in its structure, along with the widespread presence of apatite in lunar rocks. There is a general understanding that crustal cumulate rocks of the lunar magnesian (Mg) suite are better candidates for recording the original isotopic compositions of volatile elements in their parental melts compared to eruptive rocks, such as mare basalts. Consequently, water-bearing minerals in Mg-suite rocks are thought to be ideal candidates for discerning the primary hydrogen isotopic composition of water in the lunar interior. Mg-suite rocks and most other Apollo samples that were collected at the lunar surface display variable degrees of shock-deformation. In this study, we have investigated seven Apollo 17 Mg-suite samples that include troctolite, gabbro and norite lithologies, in order to understand if shock processes affected the water abundances and/or H isotopic composition of apatite. The measured water contents in apatite grains range from 31 to 964 ppm, with associated SD values varying between -535 +/- 134 parts per thousand and +147 +/- 194 parts per thousand (2 sigma). Considering the full dataset, there appears to be no correlation between H2O and delta D of apatite and the level of shock each apatite grain has experienced. However, the lowest delta D was recorded by individual, water-poor (similar to 100 ppm H2O), regardless of the complexity of the shock-induced nanostructures, there appears to be no evidence of water-loss or alteration in their delta D. The weighted average delta D value of 24 such water-rich apatites is -192 +/- 71 parts per thousand, and, of all 36 analyzed spots is -209 +/- 47 parts per thousand, indistinguishable from that of other KREEPy lunar lithologies or the Earth's deep mantle. Despite experiencing variable degrees of shock-deformation at a later stage in lunar history, water-rich apatite in some of the earliest-formed lunar crustal material appears to retain the original isotopic signature of H in the Moon.
