carbonates and sulphates (tested)


Explanation:
Made explicit in the reference sourced.

Citation begins:
"Sr isotopic data for carbonates and sulfates separated from Orgueil are given in Table 1. Because knowledge
of the detailed nature of the samples strongly affects interpretation of these data, a brief description of each is
given here. All samples were handpicked from bulk Orgueil with minimal processing, consisting only of disaggregation
in double distilled acetone or methanol. Both carbonates and sulfates are light colored phases easily distinguished
from most other components of Orgueil, but individual carbonate and sulfate species are much less
easily identified optically. To conserve sample, only spot-checks of the separates were made by EDX analysis; the
isotopic data indicate that not all separates were pare.
Three different samples of the bulk meteorite, imaginatively
labelled ORG-l, -2 and -3, were studied.
Citation ends.

"Separated carbonates and sulphates" may be a more graphic description.

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
disagree  Harald Moelzer (medical-translator): The German term is an umbrella term and unspecific - c & s are referred to as separates in this specific document (which BTW I posted before) but in a context of implant coating the separates may be totally different...

  -> "Separated salts" may be a more blanket term.
