>From the paper, It is not clear to me if they used isotopic ratio mass spectroscopy, which means, it seems did not try to determine the isotopes, they just plotted the variation of the mass of the samples with great accuracy. It's not possible to figure out if the samples were contaminated.
It seems they used this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inductively_coupled_plasma_mass_spectrometry When they should have also used: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isotope-ratio_mass_spectrometry Their data on small mass elements is still crazy, just with the crude method. This is unlike anything that was seen before, as far as I know. 2012/8/14 Franco Talari <franco.tal...@gmail.com> > ..................................................................... > > They said they did no isotope analysis, yet they said there was no > transmutation of Ni.
