Chemical and structural compositions of a fragment of Sikhote-Alin iron meteorite were investigated by X-ray fluorescence analysis (XRF), neutron activation analysis (NAA) and Mössbauer spectroscopy (MS). XRF and NAA revealed the presence of chemical elements which are characteristic for iron meteorites. XRF also showed a significant amount of Si and Al on the surface of the fragment. MS spectra revealed possible presence of α-Fe(Ni, Co) phase with different local Ni concentration. Furthermore, paramagnetic singlet was detected in Mössbauer spectra recorded at room temperature and at 4.2 K.
