Hi Laurence

Sulfur stinky yes, I don't think R chondrites are considered troilite
rich - are they not comparatively troilite poor? That's why I asked why
he wasn't after pentlandite (and pyrrhotite) as well. The question is
pretty useless trivia without more information about what the asker is
after ... , Sulfur (check), Sulfides (check), Low free metals,
terrestrial weathering, different alterations, they are all bundled up
together. I mean, R chondrites are loaded with metal but it was
oxidized after the formation, right? Considering, they are quite
troilite poor unless the objective is sulfur-rich meteorites and not
after troilite after all... maybe perhaps who knows

Best Doug

The Rumuruti (R Class) chondrites lack free metal and are sulfide rich.
