Experimental Study into the Stability of Whitlockite and Hydroxylapatite in Basaltic Magmas

Apatite (Ca5(PO4)3(F,Cl,OH)), merrillite (Ca18Na2Mg2(PO4)14), and whitlockite (Ca9(Mg,Fe(2+))(PO4)6[PO3(OH)]) are the primary phosphate minerals found in most planetary materials including rocks from Earth, Moon, Mars, and asteroids. For many years, the terms merrillite and whitlockite have been used interchangeably in the meteorite literature. Much of the confusion regarding the relationship between terrestrial and extraterrestrial 'whitlockite' is based on the presence or absence of hydrogen in the mineral structure. Whitlockite has approximately 8500 ppm H2O, and the term 'merrillite' has been adopted to identify the hydrogen-free form of whitlockite. The atomic structures of merrillite and whitlockite were examined in detail by Hughes et al.. On Earth, whitlockite has been found in rocks from evolved pegmatitic systems and in some mantle rocks. Furthermore, terrestrial whitlockite has been shown to have some merrillite component. For the meteoritic and lunar materials that have been investigated, merrillite appears to be far more common than whitlockite, and it has been proposed that the whitlockite component is unique to terrestrial samples. There are some reports of 'whitlockite' in the meteorite literature; however, these may represent misidentifications of merrillite because there have been no reports of extraterrestrial whitlockite that have been verified through crystal structural studies or analyzed for their H contents. Hughes et al. reported the atomic arrangement of lunar merrillite and demonstrated that the phase is similar to meteoritic merrillite and, predictably, devoid of hydrogen. In a follow-up study, Hughes et al. reported the atomic arrangements of two natural samples of whitlockite, one synthetic whitlockite, and samples of synthetic whitlockite that were heated at 500 C or 1050 C for 24 h. The crystal chemistry and crystal structures of the phases were compared, and it was discovered that the latter treatment resulted in the dehydrogenation of whitlockite to form merrillite.

A Radical Pathway for Organic Phosphorylation during Schreibersite Corrosion with Implications for the Origin of Life

Phosphorylated compounds (e.g. DNA, RNA, phospholipids, and many coenzymes) are critical to biochemistry. Thus, their origin is of prime interest to origin of life studies. The corrosion of the meteoritic mineral schreibersite ((Fe,Ni)3P) may have significantly contributed to the origin of phosphorylated biomolecules. Corrosion of synthetic schreibersite in a variety of solutions was analyzed by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy. These methods suggest a radical reaction pathway for the corrosion of schreibersite to form phosphite radicals (raised dot PO3 sup 2-)) aqueous solution. These radicals can form activated polyphosphates and can phosphorylate organic compounds such as acetate (3% yield). Phosphonates (O3P-C) are found in the organic P inventory of the carbonaceous meteorite Murchison. While phosphonates are rare in biochemistry, the ubiquity of corroding iron meteorites on the early Earth could have provided an accessible source of organophosphorous for the origin of life allowing the invention of the organophosphates in modern biology as a product of early evolution.
