摘要: The Dong Ujimqin Qi mesosiderite is the first recorded fall of a stony-iron meteorite in China. According to silicate textures and metal composition, this classified as member subgroup IB. Instrumental neutron activation analyses (INAA) metals show that matrix has lower concentrations Os, Ir, Re, Pt, but higher Ni Au than 7.5 cm nodule present meteorite. We attribute these compositional differences fractional crystallization molten metal. Studies olivine clasts FeO contents are uniform individual crystals variable for different clasts. Although rare earth elements (REEs) change within clasts, they all exhibit vee-shaped pattern relative CI chondrites. relatively high REEs shape REE patterns require liquid especially light REEs. As such was absent from region where basaltic gabbroic formed, must have formed part differentiated asteroid location other formed.
