Scientific paper

The behavior of Zn between spinel and troilite was studied in primitive achondrites, eucrites, and diogenite was studied by analyzing with an electron microanalyzer in order to understand the formation processes of spinel and troilite in these meteorites. It is concluded that spinels in primitive achondrites have significant Zn content while troilites do not contain Zn. Differentiated achondrite do not contain Zn. This fact would suggest that Zn is preferentially retained in spinel structure, not in troilite, and that Zn is depleted with other volatile elements such as Na before crystallization of spinels in eucrite and diogenite.
