Hello!

You may also check out "Handbook of elemental Abundances in Meteorites" by
Brian Mason. There is a section that discusses osmium abundances written by
John Morgan, beginning on page 451. He summarized the results of
measurements on chondrites, achondrites, and irons. Table 7 there lists
figures for 37 different irons. He also references the original studies.

This can be a difficult book to find. I am doing a final email check as I
pack my bags to head out on a business trip for the week; if I had time, I'd
post more details. I will be back late Friday. If you cannot find or get a
hold of the book by then, shoot me an email and I will send the info when I
return.

Great thanks, Bernd - once again your efforts come to
the rescue -

If I understand the results of your database search,
what it amounts to is that exactly 2 people are
working on recovering the hard data which will allow
for the accurate estimate of parent body size(s).

The rest of the work on this problem, and there is
plenty of it, is "theoretical" at best.

I'm going to have to go off the meteorite list again
in a few days, so if anyone else has anything to offer
on this problem, please post before then...
