Scientific paper

A modified metal-silicate extraction technique with neutron activation analysis has been used to determine Mo in a suite of eucrites. The concentrations of Mo in eucrites are found to be very low (15 to 70 ppb), similar to lunar samples. The eucrites have a mean Mo/La ratio of 0.0066, which is a factor of 570 lower then the CI chondrite ratio (3.75). The depletion of Mo and other siderophile elements in eucrites and their metal-to-silicate partition coefficients provide constraints on the metal content and the degree of partial melting during metal-silicate segregation in the eucrite parent body.
