Abstract

The nickel–iron meteorite of Morasko shows isolated inclusions of troilite in the bulk mass of a Fe,Ni-alloy. During a segregation of the FeS phase chalcophile trace elements were collected from the melt. The solidification of the Fe,Ni-phase occurred probably later, incorporating thereby mainly siderophile trace elements. To prove this general assumption selected trace elements were determined and reveal in the two phases of the present meteorite a characteristic distribution pattern. The meteorite of Morasko is in close conformity to the iron meteorite group IAB with rounded dark FeS inclusions.
