Volatile trace elements in Antarctic ureilites

Abstract— We report data for Ag, Au, Bi, Cd, Co, Cs, Ga, In, Rb, Sb, Se, Te, Tl, U and Zn in 15 different Antarctic ureilites. Contents of these mainly volatile trace elements in Antarctic ureilites are roughly comparable to those in the four known falls. Trends exhibited by these data apparently re...

Description
Summary:Abstract— We report data for Ag, Au, Bi, Cd, Co, Cs, Ga, In, Rb, Sb, Se, Te, Tl, U and Zn in 15 different Antarctic ureilites. Contents of these mainly volatile trace elements in Antarctic ureilites are roughly comparable to those in the four known falls. Trends exhibited by these data apparently reflect geochemical fractionations in parental magma(s), which were closed to loss of vapor. Subsequent events (e.g., shock and crystallization) do not seem to have affected contents of these elements.
