We report data for volatile/mobile Ag, As. Au, Bi, Cd, Co, Cs, Cu, Ga, In, Rb, Sb, Se, Te, TI and Zn in exterior and/or interior samples of four Antarctic meteorites from the Allan Hills (ALH) : A77005 (unique achondrite) ; A77257 (ureilite) ; A77278 (L3) ; A77299 (113). Exterior samples reflect contamination and/or leaching by weathering but trace element (ppm-ppt) contents in interior samples seem reasonable for representatives of these rare meteoritic types. The A77005 achondrite seems related to shergottites; other samples extend compositional ranges previously known for their groups or types. With suitable precautions, Antarctic meteorite finds yield trace element data as reliable as those obtained from previously -known falls.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
