Scientific paper

Data are presented on the chemical compositions of the troilite, dobreelite, alabandine, zinc sulfides, olivine, pyroxene, and manganochromite from the Burkhala meteorite, showing an absence of equilibrium in the component association. These data do not support the possibility of formation of the Burkhala minerals inside a large parental meteorite body. A hypothesis is proposed according to which sulfides in the Burkhala meteorite formed under the condition of secondary reductions of precursory mineral phases, followed by their melting and rapid solidification.
