Abstract

The abundance and isotopic composition of xenon and krypton have been determined in Canyon Diablo graphite. Large excesses of ⁸⁰Kr, ⁸²Kr and ¹²⁸Xe are attributed to neutron capture on bromine and iodine. The graphite contains one of the largest excesses of ¹²⁹Xe observed in meteoritic xenon. The xenon spectra do not display the 'general anomaly pattern' which characterizes xenon in chondrites.
