Abstract

Bismuth has been determined by alpha counting of the 210 Po daughter activity of the 210 Bi formed by thermal neutron activation. Results are presented for thirty chondrites, six achondrites, eight separated meteoritic phases, and six U.S. Geological Survey standard rocks. There is no resolvable difference in Bi abundances among the different groups of ordinary chondrites. Bismuth concentration decreases with increasing petrologic grade among the ordinary chondrites. The enstatite chondrites are separable into two groups on the basis of Bi data.
