Carl inquired:
"none of the other pallasites in the bulletin show their data
this same way. What does it mean when it says: mg/g etc."
This is milligrams per gram.
and:
"What would the percentage be put in a way that it
can be compared with the way others are reported?"
Well, like this:
Ni = 7.9%, Ga = 24 ppm; Ge ~80 ppm; Ir = 0.50 ppm
So, it does have a low Ni content (comparable to that of Marjalahti: 7.81% Ni),
the iridium value, on the other hand, is remarkably high. Brenham, for example,
has an iridium content of only 0.041 ppm. In other words, C.J. has an iridium
content 10 times higher than Brenham.
Cheers,
Bernd
