Description:
The nature of the Al-Ir association was investigated by plotting the whole chondrite abundance of Ir as determined by Mueller et al. (1971), and the Al abundance for the same chondrites. Ten of the 11 L chondrites plotted show a definite positive trend. The results are most consistent with the condensation mechanism of Larimer (1967) and the prediction of Larimer and Anders (1970).
