Scientific paper

Textural, compositional, and mineralogical features of the metal phases in the well-known L6 chondrite Bruderheim are examined in detail. The results demonstrate the very variable composition of the metal grains of this chondrite, which is interpreted as a characteristic inherited at the time of accretion and not eliminated during thermal 'metamorphism' because of the absence of a continuous diffusion path through a network of metal grains. Any equilibration between isolated grains of metal must occur by grain boundary diffusion or by elemental diffusion through the silicate network, probably a very slow process.
