摘要: Abstract The platinum-group elements (PGE's), when chondrite normalized, have been found to be fractionated in order of descending melting point (Os, Ir, Ru, Rh, Pt, Pd and Au). Mantle-derived material (garnet lherzolite spinel xenoliths alphine peridotites) essentially unfractionated PGE patterns. Periotitic komatiites mildly patterns ( Ir = 10 ), pyroxenitic are slightly more 30 ).
