URANIUM AND BARIUM IN STONE METEORITES

Journal Article · · Geochim. et Cosmochim. Acta
The U and Ba contents of some meteorites (4 chondrites and 1 achondrite), a basalt and a dunite have been determined by neutron activation. The isotopic composition of the U in the stone meteorites has been shown to be the same as that of terrestrial U to within 10%. The U content of the chondrites is close to 1.1 x 10/sup -8/ g/g; that of the achondrite (Nuevo Laredo) is about ten times higher. The Ba contents are all about 350 times the U contents. The results are compared with previous determinations. (auth)
