Scientific paper

Results are presented for an analysis of tracks produced by galactic cosmic-ray nuclei with Z of at least 50 in silicate and phosphate minerals from three meteorites with respective radiation ages of 45, 175, and 220 million years. The charge composition and spectrum of these galactic cosmic-ray nuclei are investigated. The techniques used and difficulties encountered in interpreting the results are described in detail. Time-averaged abundances of nuclei in groups with Z of at least 50, 70, 80, 86, and 90 are determined relative to that of iron-group nuclei and compared with the solar-system abundances of the corresponding elements. A lower limit of 1.6 x 10 to the -9th is placed on the abundance of superheavy nuclei (Z of at least 110) in galactic cosmic rays relative to the iron-group nuclei.
