Abstract

It was suggested that perhaps Mössbauer parameters of troilite could serve as a criterion for an interpretation of the origin of various meteorites. It was found that in three meteorites coming from the same parent body (Baszkówka, Mt. Tazerzait and Songyuan) the angle between the principal axis of the electric field gradient (EFG) and the direction of the magnetic field in troilite is around 60°. Further investigations showed that in some other meteorites, not belonging to this group, this angle is close to 90°.
