The neutron activation data for Ag, As, Bi, Cd, Co, Cs, Cu, Ga, In, Rb, Se, Te, Tl, and Zn were obtained in samples of Abee heated to 1000-1400 C at low pressures. In addition, these elements were reported in nine enstatite achondrites and in the silicate part of the Mt. Egerton stony-iron. The data show trace element losses above 1000 C by diffusion-controlled processes with apparent activation energies of 8 to 55 kcal/mol; these data together with abundances of aubrites, Mt. Egerton, and E4-6 chondrites, and isotopic results link all enstatite meteorites to a common parent body. The data also indicate that aubrites and the Mt. Egerton material reflect fractional crystallization of a magma produced from enstatite chondrite-like parent material (E6) and the late introduction of chalcophiles and mobile elements transported by an FeS-Fe eutectic from an E4-6 region undergoing open-system metamorphism.
