Scientific paper

The absorption of resonant gamma rays by Fe 57 nuclei in stone meteorites produces patterns characteristic of the various iron compounds in the meteorite. By comparison with absorption patterns of terrestrial reference minerals, the meteoritic compounds may be identified and the relative amounts of iron in each mineral determined. The minerals identified in the Plainview meteorite were olivine and pyroxene (ferromagnesian silicates), troilite (a sulfide), and kamacite (an iron-nickel alloy). The absorption patterns of the Holbrook and Johnstown meteorites were also investigated.
