%X Mossbauer absorption spectra of different orientations of single crystals of olivine (MgFe)2SiO4 have been determined. The variation of the ratio of peak areas of the quadrupole split lines has allowed the M(1) and M(2) site positions of the Fe2+ ions to be identified, and has shown that the Fe2+ ions are evenly distributed between these sites.
