Simple chemical procedures (colorimetric and gravimetric) for the determination of Co, Cr, Cu, Ga, Ni, P, and S in an iron meteorite or in the separated metallic phase of a pallasite are described; the minimum size of sample is discussed. A procedure for the quantitative removal of the metallic, sulphide, and phosphide phases from a stone or siderolite is described, and is applicable to the quantitative isolation of silicate and oxide inclusions from siderites (other than some very high in nickel).
