High precision, high accuracy measurement of oxygen isotopes in a large lunar zircon by SIMS

Ninety-seven high precision, high spatial-resolution ion microprobe analyses of oxygen isotopes in a single, large zircon crystal from a lunar soil sample yield a surprising and unexpectedly large range in δ18OSMOW from 4.5 to 9.2%. Detailed consideration of sample mounting, polishing, and sample-st...
