Some xenolithic clasts in meteorites may have originated from unique primitive Solar System bodies. These clasts would provide novel insights into the early evolution of the Solar System. We conducted multiple analyses of organic matter (OM) in a CI-like xenolithic clast in the Zag (H5) meteorite including bulk elemental and isotopic analysis, FTIR, STXM/XANES, and NanoSIMS. The bulk C and N abundances in the Zag clast were +5.1 ± 0.4 wt.% and +0.26 ± 0.01 wt.%, respectively, which were the highest observed among various chondrite groups. The bulk δ¹³C value of the Zag clast was +23.0 ± 4.1 ‰ which was close to the value of the Tagish Lake meteorite; the δ¹⁵N value was +300 ± 3 ‰ which was close to the values of CR chondrites and Bells (a unique CM). The δD values of C-rich regions obtained by NanoSIMS were approximately +600 to +2000‰ which were close to the values of IOM from CI, CM and Tagish Lake. Some isotopic “hot spots” were observed with δD values up to ≈ +4000‰ and δ¹⁵N values up to ≈ +5500‰. The infrared transmission spectrum of the Zag clast was consistent with the abundant phyllosilicates and carbonates observed in the clast. The STXM showed abundant OM in various forms. C-XANES spectra from the OM were generally similar to CI/CM/CR chondrites. However, some variations existed in the molecular structures. OM in the Zag clast was partially associated with carbonates. The functional group, elemental and isotopic signatures of the OM in the Zag clast support the idea that the Zag clast is unique among known carbonaceous chondrite groups and originated from the outer Solar System such as aqueously-altered D/P type asteroids.

The stepwise acid digestion of primitive chondritic meteorites allows the identification of nucleosynthetic isotope anomalies that are otherwise hidden on the bulk rock scale. Here, we present for the first time combined isotope data for acid leachates, residues, and bulk rock aliquots of several primitive chondrites for the geo- and cosmochemically similar elements Zr and Hf. Our analyses reveal significant Zr and Hf isotope anomalies that (i) are complementary between acid leachates and residues and (ii) well-correlated with each other. The observed Zr and Hf anomalies strongly suggest variable contributions of common s-process carrier phases to the different leachates and residues. Ratios of r- (and p-process) Zr and Hf isotopes appear to be uniform in leachates and residues. In contrast to the well-correlated anomalies found in our leaching experiments, nucleosynthetic Zr and Hf isotope signatures seem to be decoupled on the bulk rock scale. This contrast may result from the heterogeneous distribution of neutron-rich Zr material devoid Hf, or alternatively be caused by the presence of anomalous CAI material which overprinted s-process deficits that were initially correlated.

In contrast to a previous study, we find no direct evidence for the presence of a third isotopically distinct nucleosynthetic Zr component.
