We find that the metallic phase is high in 57Fe\/54Fe with respect to the silicate phase, with \u039457Femetal-silicate = 0.08\u2030 \u00b1 0.04 for Mount Egerton and 0.09 \u00b1 0.02 \u2030 for Norton County. These data, combined with new measurements of 57Fe\/54Fe of IIIAB iron meteorites, are used to constrain the origins of the high 57Fe\/54Fe exhibited by all classes of iron meteorites. We find that if the parent bodies of the iron meteorites had chondritic bulk 57Fe\/54Fe values, their cores must have been unusually small (\u2264 8% by mass). Relaxing the constraint that the bodies were chondritic in their bulk iron isotope ratios allows for larger core mass fractions commensurate with usual expectations. In this case, the elevated 57Fe\/54Fe values of iron meteorites are due in part to evaporation of melt during the accretion stages of the parent bodies and not solely the result of metal-silicate differentiation.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
