Antarctic weathering of the CK chondrites EET90004, 90007, and 90022: Nickel and sulfur mobility
CK chondrites are a relatively new class of carbonaceous chondrite that have been described in the literature. Most meteorites that comprise the CK group are restricted to Antarctic finds; therefore terrestrial weathering processes can influence the geochemical records contained within these chondri...
