N1 - Funding Information:
We thank to Drs. M. HONDA and Y. N. MIURA for their donating the pallasite samples and Dr. P. KONG for introducing the N–1923 reagent to us. This study was made possible through an interuniversity collaborative program for the use of JAERI facilities supported by the Ministry of Education, Culture, and Science (MEXT). This study was supported in part by a Grant-in-aid defrayed by MEXT (No. 15340193; P. I.: M. EBIHARA).

N2 - An analytical scheme of radiochemical neutron activation for the sequential determination of ultra-trace rare earth elements (REEs) and highly siderophile elements (HSEs) in geological and cosmochemical samples is presented. Using this procedure, several selected elements of REEs and HSEs were successively determined for geological reference samples and olivine crystals separated from pallasite meteorites. Based on the data for geological reference samples, it was concluded that the procedure presented in this study could yield data usable for cosmochemical discussion of the genesis of pallasite meteorites.
