Scientific paper

Several low Ni-iron meteorites previously classified with group IAB are reclassified with group IIICD because of lower Ge, Ga, W, and Ir concentrations and higher As concentrations. The low Ni extreme of IIICD is now 62 mg/g, and that of IAB is 64 mg/g. It is proposed that the meteorites of both groups formed as individual shock melts on a chondritic parent body. The differences in log element-log Ni slopes of the daughter irons demonstrate that there were detailed differences in the composition and size of phases in the parental material (e.g., more Ni in the sulfides or metal of IAB, or more Ge and Ir in the oxides of IIICD).
