Isotopic composition of lithium in the Allende meteorite.

S. Yanagita, Reisuke Gensho

Abstract

An anomaly in the isotopic composition of lithium has been searched for in the Allende meteorite. White inclusions, a chondrule and the matrix of Allende were analysed and compared with terrestrial standard rocks and with the meteoritic standards of St. Severin, Peace River and Bruderheim. No anomaly of 7Li/6Li was observed in any of the Allende samples.
