Major, Minor and Trace Element Contents

Chemical analyses:

» Bulk chemical compositions (oxide compounds)

» Major, minor and trace elements in chondrites, achondrites and silicate phase of other types

» Major, minor and trace elements in iron meteorites and metal phase of other types

» Mineral chemistry such as olivine, pyroxeneand plagioclase compositions

__________________________________________________________________________

» Major, minor and trace elements in iron meteorites Most iron meteorites are analyzed using INAA (instrumental neutron activation)

» Mineral Chemistry Classification relevant mineral analyses such as olivine Fa or pyroxene Fs contents

» Major, minor and trace elements in non-irons Mostly INAA, RNAA and ICP-MS analyses of bulk material.

» Bulk chemical compositions Usually wet chemical analysis (oxide compounds) of bulk samples are stored in this section.
