Element Abundance in the Solar System

E. Anders and M. Ebihara, 1982 Table 1. Atoms/1e6 Si . . . . Orgueil is an intensively studied meteorite that fell on France in 1864.

est ppb is my mass estimate based on Anders/Ebihara atomic abundance: multiply Atoms/1e6 Si by atomic weight, then scale to Orguiel iron.

Rare Earths Highlighted for the asteroid-elements obsessed. Siderophilic rare earths follow iron to the Earth's core.
