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.
