We determined the Zn abundances of 18 very metal-poor stars studied by our previous work (Honda et al.. 2004) that covers the metallicity range of -3.1<[Fe/H]<-2.5. The [Zn/Fe] values of most stars show an increasing trend with decreasing [Fe/H] in this metallicity range, confirming the results found by previous studies. However, the extremely metal-poor star BS16920-017 ([Fe/H] =-3.1) has a significantly high Zn/Fe ratio ([Zn/Fe] = +0.9). Comparisons of the chemical abundances of this object with HD4306, which has similar atmospheric parameters with BS16920-017, clearly demonstrate the deficiency of α-elements and neutron-capture elements, while enhancement of Mn and Ni, as well as Zn, in BS16920-017. This object may be strongly reflecting the result of the nucleosynthesis by hypernovae explosion.
