Four to six one-gram specimens separated by a distance of
several inches were obtained from each of 23 large chondritic
meteorites (approximately 1 kg each) representing the olivine bronzite
(H5), olivine hypersthene (L6) and enstatite (E5) classifications.
Each specimen was analyzed for Na and Mn via instrumental neutron
activation analysis...
The abundance of copper was determined in four to six one-gram
specimens separated by a distance of several inches from each
of 23 large chondritic fragments (greater than 1 kg) via instrumental
neutron activation analysis and counting of the annihilation N-rays of
⁶⁴Cu. It is believed that an accuracy of...
The analysis of 64 rock samples from Saudi Arabia and three
samples from the axial trough of the Red Sea has been done.
Instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA) was the analytical
tool used for the analysis of at least 18 and as many as 24 elements
in these 67 rock...
The silicate phases of 11 pallasites were analyzed instrumentally
to determine the concentrations of some major, minor, and
trace elements. The silicate phases were found to contain about
98% olivine with 1 to 2% accessory minerals such as lawrencite,
schreibersite, troilite, chromite, and farringtonite present. The
trace element concentrations, except...
Major and minor minerals have been separated from
three L-6 chondritic meteorites (Alfianello, Colby (Wisconsin),
and Leedey). Olivine, hypersthene, diopside, feldspar,
troilite, chromite, phosphate minerals, and metallic
minerals were analyzed for major, minor and trace elements
using instrumental neutron activation analysis and radiochemical
neutron activation analysis techniques. Concentrations
df the...
Ninety basalt samples from eight locations in central Oregon
and one location in the Willamette Valley were analyzed for Si and Al.
Fourteen basaltic rock specimens (> 1 kg each) from four buttes in the
Willamette Valley were sampled and analyzed for Si, Al, Fe, Na, K,
Mn, Cr, Co,...
The abundances of 12 elements, Fe, A1, Na, Ni, Cr, Mn,
Co, Ca, Sc, Ir, Sm and Eu have been determined by INAA in 61
individual chondrules (0.1-100 mg) separated from five Allende (C3)
meteoritic fragments ( 25g). Ti and V have been determined in 18
of these chondrules, and...
Eight layered gabbro samples from two layered complexes, two
xenoliths, one basalt from a hot brine area and a standard basalt rock
(BCR-1) were analyzed by RNAA (radiochemical neutron activation
analysis) for 14 trace elements, Au, Ni, Co, Ag, Sb, Se, Zn, In, T1,
Rb, Cs, U, Ba and Sr....
Nine Ca-Al-rich inclusions and one olivine inclusion
from Allende meteorite were studied for Ti, Al, Fe, Mg, Ca,
Na, Cl, K, Sc, V, Cr, Mn, Co, Ni, Zn,Hf, W, Ir, Au, Ta,
and Re -via INAA (instrumental neutron activation analysis)
and REE, Ba, Sr via RNAA (radiochemical NAA). The inclusions...
