Scientific paper

Platinum group elements (PGE) enrichments are found in Fe-Ni blebs (less than 1 micron) in Al- and Cr-rich objects in the ordinary chondrites Ste. Marguerite, Forest Vale, Montferre. In Ste. Marguerite, high ZrO2 concentrations (Baddeleyite) are also present in a chromite inclusion. Iridium enrichment in this material compared to its metal content is confirmed by Instrumental Neutron Activation Analysis (INAA). The widespread occurrence of PGE in Al- and Cr-rich objects, mostly present in H-group chondrites of nearly equilibrated types, must be taken into account to understand their conditions of formation.
