Strangways Crater, Northern Territory, Australia: siderophile element enrichment and lithophile element fractionation.

Seven samples of melt rock and four samples of country rock from the Strangways crater were analysed for Sc, Cr, Fe, Co, Zn, Rb, Zr, Sb, Cs, Ba, REE, Hf, Ta, Th, U, Ni, Se, Pd, Ag, Cd, Re, Os, Ir and Au. The data indicate that the crater may have been formed by the impact of an olivine-rich achondrite, and melt rocks appear to contain approx 3 wt.% of projectile material.-B.M.
