Abstract

Concentrations of barium have been determined spectrographically in 95 stony meteorites. The distribution of the concentration of barium in the chondritic falls appears to be log-normal in shape with a median of 4.5 ppm. The concentrations in the chondritic finds indicate a tetramodal distribution that may have resulted from terrestrial contamination, but that also may have been present initially. The fact that the finds represent a strongly selected sample of generally hard and resistant meteorites leaves the second alternative open as a distinct possibility.
