Hello Greg and List,
I found two "secondary" references:
G.R. Huss et al. (1994) Noble Gases in Presolar Diamonds - I: Three
Distinct Components and their Implications for Diamond Origins
(Meteoritics 29-6, 1994, 791).
G.R. Huss et al. (1994) Noble Gases in Presolar Diamonds -II: Component
Abundances Reflect Thermal Processing (Meteoritics 29-6, 1994, 811-829).
They report diamond separates from several meteorites - among these are:
Orgueil - Semarkona - Bishunpur - Ragland - Mezö Madaras - ALHA 77214 -
Tieschitz - D i m m i t t - Qingzhen - Indarch - Leoville - Vigarano -
Allende - Kainsaz, etc.
On page 804, the authors mention a paper by Moniot - This might be a /
the primary source:
MONIOT R.K. (1980) Noble-gas-rich separates from ordinary chondrites
(GCA 44, 253-271).
Best wishes,
Happy Easter,
Happy Passover,
Happy Holidays,
Bernd
