Primitive achondrites are meteorites that have mineral and bulk chemical compositions similar to the most primitive meteorites (chondrites) but have textures similar to more evolved meteorites (achondrites). The unique geochemistry and texture of the prim...
Most achondritic meteorites have Fe/Mn ratios that are lower than those of carbonaceous chondrites and of course are lower than the solar system abundance ratio of these elements. Models of the origin of achondritic assemblages must, therefore, account fo...
Uranium was measured by homogwnizwd fission track analysis in 34 samples of 22 achondrites. Potassium was determined in aliquots of eleven of these. The results, combined with previous Al data, were not compatible with achondrite formation from chondritic material by previously suggested fractional melting or metal-sulfide segregation processes. ...
