Scientific paper

Measurements of the isotopic composition of cadmium in whole rock samples of a number of unequilibrated ordinary chondrites have shown the presence of significant fractionation in the abundances of the isotopes. Some meteorites are enhanced in the light isotopes with respect to a laboratory standard, while the reverse effect is exhibited in other meteorites. The mass fractionation is linear over the range 106-116 within the limits set by experimental error. The extent of the mass-dependent fractionation varies from -2.1 percent per mass unit for light isotope enrichment for the LL3 chondrite Semarkona, to +2.7 percent per mass unit for the LL3 chondrite Bishunpur. This is the first time that negative mass fractionation has been reported for cadmium in meteoritical material.
