Acapulco metal and silicate show distinct N isotopic signatures. Trapped heavy noble gases are carried by 'magnetic' opx and radiogenic Xe-129 excesses are observed in phosphate and in minor surficial phases on metal grains. N and Xe isotopic signatures in FRO90011 do not agree with those observed in Acapulco. The Acapulco meteorite is unique in having achondritic texture and chondritic composition. Its mineralogical study shows the record of high temperature (1100 C) recrystallization. However, this meteorite shows abundances of volatile elements close to the levels observed in carbonaceous chondrites and concentrations of heavy noble gases comparable to those observed in type 4 ordinary chondrites, not expected for a presumed highly equilibrated object. Nitrogen measurements in bulk Acapulco revealed two different isotopic signatures, in apparent conflict with evidence for a high degree of recrystallization. N and Xe were studied in separated mineral phases to search for the carriers in order to better understand the formation and thermal history of the Acapulco parent body.
