- Abundance comments
- This abundance value is an upper value, because some amount of ammonium salt (but probably very little) may have sublimated with the water ice during preparation of this sublimate residue. Massic abundance lower or equal to about 17 wt%. Volumetric abundance lower or equal to about 43 vol%.
- Size method
- The salt probably plays the role of a cement of sub-micrometer size, located between the grains of pyrrhotite, as suggested by Scanning Electron Microscopy images.
