Data repository for "A petrogenetic study of apatite in Chang’E-5 basalt: implications for high sulfur contents in lunar apatite and volatile estimations for the lunar mantle"

This is the data repository for the paper entitled "A petrogenetic study of apatite in Chang’E-5 basalt: implications for high sulfur contents in lunar apatite and volatile estimations for the lunar mantle" by Huijuan Li and coauthors. The sample studied (CE5C0800YJYX013GP) is provided by the China National Space Administration (CNSA). It contains two basaltic clasts set in a one-inch epoxy mount. This data repository includes compositional data for apatite and melt inclusions acquired using Electron Microprobe, relevant literature data on apatite and melt inclusions from lunar samples plotted in figures, and an EXCEL sheet displaying the fractional crystallization modeling performed to reproduce the volatile zoning in apatite. Different from apatite from Apollo mare basalts, apatite compositions reported here have low F and high Cl and S (up tp 3000 ppm) characteristics. This study presents an explanation for such high Cl and S contents in apatite and implications for volatile estimations in the CE5 lunar mantle.

本数据集对应李慧娟及其合作者发表的题为《嫦娥五号（Chang’E-5）玄武岩中的磷灰石岩石成因研究：对月球磷灰石高硫含量及月幔挥发分估算的启示》的论文。本次研究的样品（CE5C0800YJYX013GP）由中国国家航天局（China National Space Administration, CNSA）提供，该样品为镶嵌于1英寸环氧树脂载片中的两块玄武岩碎屑。本数据集包含通过电子探针（Electron Microprobe）测试获得的磷灰石与熔体包裹体成分数据、已发表的月球样品磷灰石及熔体包裹体相关文献数据（已整理为配图格式），以及用于复现磷灰石挥发分分带特征的分离结晶模拟Excel表格。与阿波罗（Apollo）月海玄武岩中的磷灰石不同，本次报道的磷灰石成分具有低氟（F）、高氯（Cl）及高硫（最高可达3000ppm）的特征。本研究对这类磷灰石中的高氯、高硫含量成因进行了解释，并为嫦娥五号月幔挥发分估算提供了相关启示。
