Scientific paper

Bocaiuva is a unique meteorite consisting of major metal having a high Ge/Ga ratio and minor (≡50 mg/g) silicates. The silicates are generally chondritic and consist of major olivine (Fa7.7) and orthopyroxene (Fs7.6) and minor plagioclase (Ab49, An49) and clinopyroxene (Fs4.5, Wo42). The low alkali content of the silicates is the only property inconsistent with a chondritic composition. Based on metal composition Bocaiuva seems distantly related to certain iron meteorites having similar Ge contents and similar Ge/Ga ratios, but detailed comparison with six such irons shows none to be closely related to Bocaiuva.
