Twenty six individual circumstellar SiC grains extracted from the Murchison meteorite were analyzed for their strontium isotopic compositions by resonant ionization mass spectrometry. Large abundance deficits were found for the p-process isotope 84Sr. The measured grains had 87Sr/86Sr ratios indistinguishable from the primordial solar value, but several grains differed in their 88Sr/86Sr ratios as a consequence of the branch point at 85Kr. The Sr isotopic data are consistent with s-process nucleosynthesis at moderate neutron densities.
