The concentrations of Co, Au, Ag, Ga, Se, Rb, Cs, Te, Bi, In, Tl, and Cd volatile/mobile trace elements were determined for the interior portions of 19 L3-6 chondrites from Victoria Land, Antarctica, and the results were compared with those for contemporary non-Antarctic L4-6 chondrite falls reported by Neal et al. (1981), Walsh and Lipschutz (1982), and Huston and Lipschutz (1984). The comparison revealed substantial differences between the Antarctic and non-Antarctic samples. In particular, trace element contents in Victoria Land samples do not exhibit the pronounced shock loading effect evident in contemporary falls. The interelement compositional trends in the non-Antarctic and Victoria Land chondrite populations also differ. It is suggested that the differences found between the Antarctic and non-Antarctic L chondrites are due to the preterrestrial origin of the former.
