Isotopic composition of the rare gases in the Fayetteville meteorite

Journal Article · · Journal of Geophysical Research
The abundance pattern of the rare gases in the dark phase of the Fayetteville meteorite was found to be similar to that of the Pesyanoe and other meteorites rich in primordial rare gases. The light phase of the Fayetteville meteorite contains much smaller amounts of rare gases and is characterized by the presence of radiogenic 40Ar and cosmogenic 21Ne, 22Ne, etc. Both dark and light phases contain an excess of radiogenic 129/Xe relative to the earth's atmosphere; the light phase contains an excess of fissiogenic xenon isotopes relative to the dark phase of the meteorite.
