TRACE ELEMENT AND εNd SYSTEMATICS IN THE NAKHLITE MIL 03346 AND THE ORTHOPYROXENITE ALH 84001: IMPLICATIONS FOR THE MARTIAN MANTLE
Introduction: MIL 03346 is a newly discovered clinopyroxenite belonging to the nakhlite class of SNC (martian) meteorites [1]. Although the petrographic and geochemical characteristics of MIL 03346 are broadly similar to those of previously known nakhlites, there are also some differences. In particular, it has the highest abundance of glassy mesostasis among the nakhlites, possibly indicative ...
متن کاملA Martian Crustal Component of Nitrogen and Noble Gases in Mil
Introduction: Martian meteorite studies have provided information on the composition of noble gases and nitrogen in the atmosphere and interior of planet Mars [1]. Two interior components (Chass-S, Chass-E) in Chassigny [2,3]; a mixture of interior (Chass-S) and modern Mars atmosphere in Shergottites [4], elementally fractionated atmosphere in Nakhlites [5] and ancient Mars atmosphere in ALH840...
متن کاملPetrology and geochemistry of nakhlite MIL 03346: A new Martian meteorite from Antarctica
MIL 03346 is a newly discovered meteorite from Miller Range in Antarctica, which belongs to the nakhlite group of Martian meteorites [1]. It is an unbrecciated, mediumgrained olivinebearing clinopyroxenite with a cumulate texture, similar to the 6 other previously known nakhlites. This is only the 2 nakhlite in Antarctic collections, the other being Yamato 000593 and its pairs. The Meteorite Wo...
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...
متن کاملAbundant Bassanite and Γ-caso4 in Mil 03346,168 Meteorite
MIL03346 meteorite: It is a martian meteorite (nakhlite) collected from Miller Range, Antarctica. It contains variety of hydrous Caand Fe 3+ -sulfates, and other H2O/OH-bearing species, thus has been extensively studied, with a purpose to build the links to aqueous alteration processes on Mars [4-9]. The martian origin of Ca-sulfates and jarosites in MIL 03346 is validated by the finding of the...
