Measurements were made of the densities of cosmic-ray tracks in eight samples of silicate material from the iron meteorite El'ga and one sample of lunar soil obtained by Luna 20. The track-density gradient in the meteorite glasses is found to be due to irradiation by low-energy (10-15 MeV/nucleon) nuclei of VH-group cosmic rays. The glass and silicate-phase samples have preserved tracks from irradiation which occurred before the accretion of the meteorite material. This is significant for the study of the origin of iron meteorites.
