Abstract
SUPERSTRUCTURE in taenite of the iron meteorite, Cape York, has already been reported1,2. We have now studied taenite (f.c.c. iron–nickel alloy) from another iron meteorite, Toluca, using Mössbauer and X-ray techniques. Here we report the main results of these investigations and compare the data with those reported previously1,2.
