Table 2.

The μ100 Ru values for chromitites and Os-Ir-Ru alloys. Data are corrected using the Nier reduction method unless otherwise specified. The uncertainties associated with individual analyses are the internal error (2SE) associated with the measurement, unless there is only one analysis for the sample in which case the uncertainties are the 2SD of the standards measured during the relevant campaign. The uncertainties for sample means, where n < 3, are reported as the 2SD of the Alfa Asear standard, or the sample, whichever was greater. The uncertainties for sample means, where n ≥ 3, are the 2SE associated with the multiple measurements of the sample. The uncertainties associated with the IAB iron meteorite group are defined by the extent of the error envelop at μ189Os = 0 for the trend μ189Os vs. μ100 Ru, obtained using the ISOPLOT program (Ludwig, 2003). The uncertainties associated with the oceanic mantle are an average of the 2SD of repeated analysis of the Alfa Asear standard from each measurement campaign.
