ISOTOPIC COMPOSITION OF XENON FROM ENSTATITE CHONDRITES
The xenon isotopic compositions of three enstatite chondrites were determined, and the results were compared with those obtained from other meteorites and with the atmospheric composition. The enstatite chondrites are a rare type of hard, tough stone characterized by the absence of oxidized iron, the presence of carbon, and higher abundances of the heavy elements such as iodine. These chondrites present a uniform xenon spectrum with a very prominent excess of Xe/sup 129/ and with secondary anomalies similar to those found in Richardton and the carbonaceous chondrites.
