Four of the magmatic IVA iron meteorites contain tridymite or clinobronzite-orthobronzitetridymite which are quite unlike silicate assemblages in other iron meteorites. The textures, the bulk chemistry, and the zoning ...
Metallographic cooling rates of group IVA iron meteorites have been recalculated based on the most recent Ni diffusion coefficients and phase diagram. The cooling rates are revised upwards by a factor of ca. 15 relative ...
