Molybdenum isotope variations in molybdenite: vapor transport and Rayleigh fractionation of Mo

Molybdenum isotopes in 20 molybdenite samples, dated by the Re-Os method and representing a range of geologic settings, show mass-dependent fractionation spanning 0.63 per atomic mass unit (amu). Previous Mo isotope data for molybdenite reveal variations in fractionation of <0.5/amu. Interpretati...
