The Explorer 45 heavy ion data analysis is extended to ions heavier than fluorine, that is, ions with nuclear charge Z greater than about 9 during and after a major magnetic storm on August 4, 1972. Although the heavy ion detector telescope does not permit a precise identification of these ions, it is pointed out that if they are, for example, magnesium ions, then an equatorially mirroring peak trapped flux of 0.02 ions/sq cm-s-sr-keV is derived on L shells just below L = 3 at energies 12.8-51.2 MeV per ion (533-2133 keV per nucleon). It is noted that other possible ion contributions include silicon and iron. The fluxes of these ions are found to decay on time scales typically several tens of days; this is substantially faster than that of helium ions and slightly faster than that of oxygen ions in the lower MeV range.
