Isotopic compositions of three samples (E19, E20, and E22) of the Efremovka carbonaceous chondrite, obtained after 'hard' acid treatment of the original specimens were investigated. Results indicate that the fine-grained E19 contains Xe enriched by nucleogenic Xe-X. Samples E20 and E22 were found to be enriched by Xe-136, Xe-134, Xe-128, Xe-126, and Xe-124, in ratios that have no analogies among acid-resistant residues of other carbonaceous chondrites. It is suggested that the enrichment of Efremovka samples by heavy Xe isotopes was caused by the presence of Xe = H (CCF = Xe) or a mixture of extensively mass-fractionated solar Xe with Xe = X, whereas the enrichment by light Xe isotopes was caused by a intense neutron irradiation of some of the mineral phases of these samples previous to accretion.
