Title: SOROTI AND THE ORIGIN OF SULFIDE-RICH METEORITES
Author: A. Kracher , S. D. Gramstad and G. Kurat

Sulfide-rich meteorites are differentiated meteorites whose sulfide abundance is higher than that of chondrites. Since meteorite parent bodies are presumed to have chondritic bulk compositions, and typical differentiated meteorites contain less sulfide than chondrites, the scarcity of sulfide-rich meteorites is puzzling.
Most S-rich meteorites are compositionally distinct from known meteorite groups. However, since most cores parental to known iron meteorite groups are expected to produce S-rich material, it is unlikely that none of these S-rich samples come from a body sampled by other meteorites.
