Graphitic carbon in the Allende meteorite: a microstructural study

PP Smith and PR Buseck

Department of Geology, Arizona State University, Tempe 85251, USA.

High-resolution transmission electron microscopy, shows that carbon in the Allende carbonaceous chondrite meteorite is predominantly a poorly crystalline graphite. Such material is of interest as an important carrier of the isotopically anomalous noble gases found in carbonaceous chondrites.
