Petrology of the Unbrecciated Eucrite, Cumulus Hills 04049
Introduction: Eucrite meteorites represent earlyformed (~4.557-4.565 Ga) crustal basalts and basaltic to gabbroic cumulates from the howardite-eucritediogenite (HED) parent body or bodies (e.g., [1]). The HED are commonly thought to originate from the asteroid Vesta (e.g., [2-3]), although O-isotopes for eucrites [4] and diogenites [5] indicate more than one parent body. Approximately 85% of eu...
متن کاملAn anomalous basaltic meteorite from the innermost main belt.
Triangulated observations of fireballs allow us to determine orbits and fall positions for meteorites. The great majority of basaltic meteorites are derived from the asteroid 4 Vesta. We report on a recent fall that has orbital properties and an oxygen isotope composition that suggest a distinct parent body. Although its orbit was almost entirely contained within Earth's orbit, modeling indicat...
متن کامل05035 and Meteorite Hills 01210 : Two Basaltic Lunar Meteorites
Introduction: The lunar meteorites Miller Range 05035 (MIL) and Meteorite Hills 01210 (MET) were collected during the 2005 and 2001 ANSMET (Antarctic Meteorite Search) field seasons [1,2]. MET is a 22.8 g regolith breccia composed primarily of basaltic material [3-6]. MIL is a 142.2 g coarse-grained basalt [2]. The bulk composition, mineral assemblage, and texture of MIL is similar to lunar met...
متن کاملPetrologic insights from the spectra of the unbrecciated eucrites: Implications for Vesta and basaltic asteroids
We investigate the relationship between the petrology and visible–near infrared spectra of the unbrecciated eucrites and synthetic pyroxene–plagioclase mixtures to determine how spectra obtained by the Dawn mission could distinguish between several models that have been suggested for the petrogenesis of Vesta’s crust (e.g., partial melting and magma ocean). Here, we study the spectra of petrolo...
متن کاملUnique meteorite from early Amazonian Mars: water-rich basaltic breccia Northwest Africa 7034.
We report data on the martian meteorite Northwest Africa (NWA) 7034, which shares some petrologic and geochemical characteristics with known martian meteorites of the SNC (i.e., shergottite, nakhlite, and chassignite) group, but also has some unique characteristics that would exclude it from that group. NWA 7034 is a geochemically enriched crustal rock compositionally similar to basalts and ave...
