The Portales Valley meteorite provides an opportunity to investigate and compare the microstructure in Fe(Ni metal of the metallic particles in the chondritic portion and in the metal veins. The low-temperature phase decomposition of Fe(Ni metal was investigated using scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and atomic force microscopy. The microstructure is formed as the Portales Valley meteorite cooled from high temperatures and includes the outer taenite rim, the cloudy zone, clear taenite, and martensite. Martensite in turn decomposes into a fine admixture of fcc rods in a bcc matrix. The width of the island phase of the cloudy zone in the metal particles of the chondritic portion and the metal veins can be used to estimate a low-temperature cooling rate. The microstructural evidence indicates that the chondritic portions and the metal veins in the Portales Valley meteorite cooled together as a mixture with a cooling rate of roughly 6.5 K/Ma.
