The chemical composition of the Sikhote-Alin meteorite
Abstract
Data from numerous investigations of the chemical composition of the nickel-iron, troilite, chromite, and schreibersite present in the Sikhote-Alin meteorite are presented. The greatest number of elements (about 50) are found in the nickel-iron (kamacite with traces of tenite and rabdite). The Ga, Ge, and Ni content of the Sikhote-Alin meteorite places it in the chemical group IIb.
