Mostly the results of instrumental neutron activation analyses (INAA) of iron meteorites are stored in this database. The element abundances in iron meteorites are important for a proper classification of a meteorite into taxonomic groups, relating to common parent bodies.
The following (mainly siderophile) elements are considered:
Ni, Ga, Ge, Ir, Co, Cr, Cu, As, Sb, W, Re, Pt, Os, Pd, Rh, Ru, Au, P
