THE BERYLLIUM CONTENT OF SOME METEORITES

· Geochim. Cosmochim. Acta
The beryllium concentration of 17 meteorites was determined with excellent precision by a fluorometric procedure using morin as reagent. The average concentration found for 13 chondrites and 1 achondrite was 0.038 ppm or 0.64 atom per 10/sup 6/ atoms of silicon. Two other achondrites were excluded from the average because of their large deviations from the mean. The only iron meteorite analyzed contained less than l ppb as expected. One sample each of a diabase, basalt, granite, and shale showed an increasing quantity of beryllium in the order given compared to the meteorite average, ranging from about 16 times for the diabase to 160 times for the shale. Values of 2.74 plus or minus 0.03 ppm and 0.623 plus or minus 0.006 ppm were obtained for the standard rock samples G - 1 and W - 1, respectively. (auth)
