Scientific paper

Antarctic shergottite EETA 79001 and polymict eucrite ALHA 78132 contain Hg which is anomalous in the Hg-196 or Hg-202 isotope. The anomalous fractions were extracted at 130 C during stepwise heating of neutron irradiated samples. The Hg-196/202 ratios differ by factors of 2-4 from the normal Hg ratio. This is an enormous effect. Approximately fifty other Hg fractions extracted at temperatures up to 1200 C from these and several other Antarctic basaltic achondrites and from the non-Antarctic fall, Shergotty, gave Hg-196/202 ratios within 20 percent of normal.
