| Abstract: | Summary Analyses of chromite, ilmenite, whitlockite, farringtonite, schreibersite, and tridymite from four mesosiderite specimen were made using electron microprobe techniques. These minerals are chemically homogeneous with the exception of chromite, which exhibits slight zoning and grain to grain compositional variation in the same specimen. It can be assumed that schreibersite, troilite, and phosphates formed by solid state nucleation from  -NiFe or solid state reactions between mixed metal and silicate fragments at temperatures of approximately 600–700°C during a stage of thermal metamorphism. Chromite was associated with the silicate fraction before metal and silicate fragments have mixed. It is shown that the results of this work are consistent with the theory of mesosiderite genesis evolved byPowell (1969, 1971).Elektronenstrahlmikroanalyse einiger Nebenbestandteile und Akzessorien in Mesosideriten Zusammenfassung In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird über Mikrosondenanalysen von Chromit, Ilmenit, Whitlockit, Farringtonit sowie Schreibersit und Troilit in vier Mesosideriten berichtet. Mit Ausnahme von Chromit, der leichten Zonarbau und geringe Unterschiede in der Zusammensetzung in derselben Probe zeigt, sind alle Minerale homogen. Für die Bildung von Schreibersit, Troilit und den Phosphaten können Ausscheidungsreaktionen im festen Zustand aus With 3 Figures Dedicated to Professor Dr.F.
