Does anyone know what method was used to determine the composition? If it was SIMS, then it's possible that Co was indicated simply because it's the only naturally occurring isotope with a mass of 59. However given the source of the material, it may actually have been Ni-59. Regards, Robin van Spaandonk http://rvanspaa.freehostia.com/Project.html
