Hi Steve,
Do you mean troilite? It's an iron sulfide much like
pyrrhotite but only found in meteorites. The iron
sulfide is formed from the iron in combination with
sulfur from sulfur containing minerals. You will
probably get a more technical explanation from some of
the list members. I'm sure
Steve.
Do you own the book Rocks from Space by O. Richard Norton? If not, why
not?
As someone who only recently became interested in meteorites, I have found
this book contains a wealth of knowledge. You may want to take a look at
someone's copy.

What I have found so far:
A non-magnetic form of iron sulfide (FeS) found in a variety of meteorites.
Some troilite is thought to have formed at a 988oC eutectic point in Fe/S
melts, where native Fe and troilite form simultaneously. Some troilite is
devoid of native Fe, so this must have formed
