Vasilescu, A.; Constantinescu, B.; Bugoi, R.; Ceccato, D.; Grambole, D.; Herrmann, F.

Micro-PIXE investigations on some Transylvanian chondritic meteorite fragments and on small Moon soil pieces from the LUNA-16 mission were performed at the Legnaro and Rossendorf proton microprobes. The most exciting finding of the study was the presence of Pt grains in the Moci meteorite. The results are compared to previously published data.
