Definition of taenite in US English:

taenite

noun ˈtēnītˈtēnīt

A nickel-iron alloy occurring as lamellae and strips in meteorites.
Example sentencesExamples
- The rate at which an asteroid core cools as well as the amount of taenite contained in the metal affects the thickness of the kamacite bands in the Widmanstätten pattern.
- More than ten minerals have been found in the Nantan meteorites with kamacite and taenite dominant.
- The most common meteorite mineral is the native iron alloys - kamasite, taenite and others.
- Because of the virtual absence of taenite in hexahedrites, polished surfaces of these meteorites are featureless except for the occasional presence of fine striations known as Neumann lines.
- Ataxites consist primarily of nickel-rich taenite, and kamacite is found only in the form of microscopic lamellae and spindles.

Origin

Mid 19th century: from taenia + -ite¹.
