Scientific paper
On the basis of its metal composition, the unique Bocaiuva meteorite, which consists of major metal having a high Ge/Ga ratio and minor silicates, appears distantly related to certain iron meteorites with similar Ge contents and similar Ge/Ga ratios. Detailed comparisons with six such irons shows, however, that none of these is closely related to Bocaiuva. The composition and texture of the Bocaiuva metal-silicate assembly indicate mixing in an impact event. It is suggested that the Eagle-Station pallasites were also formed by impact heating rather than by a long-lived internal heat source.
