The Effect of Flourine on the Liquidus of an Adirondack-class Martian
Introduction: This study presents first experimental results on the effect of fluorine on near-liquidus phase equilibria of an Adirondack-class Martian basalt. The basis of this study is our previous work on anhydrous [1] and chlorine bearing [2] systems which has already shown that: 1) the Adirondack-class basalts are evolved liquid compositions [1] and 2) that chlorine has a large effect on l...
متن کاملMössbauer and Electron Microprobe Studies of Density Separates of Martian Nakhlite Mil03346: Implications for Interpretation of Mössbauer Spectra Acquired by the Mars Exploration Rovers
Introduction: Martian meteorite MIL03346 is described as an augite-rich cumulate rock with ~80%, ~3%, and ~21% modal phase proportions of augite (CPX), olivine and glassy mesostasis, respectively, and is classified as a nakhlite [1]. The Mossbauer spectrum for whole rock (WR) MIL 03346 is unusual for Martian meteorites in that it has a distinct magnetite subspectrum (~7% subspectral area) [2]. ...
متن کاملMössbauer mineralogy of rock, soil, and dust at Gusev crater, Mars: Spirit’s journey through weakly altered olivine basalt on the plains and pervasively altered basalt in the Columbia Hills
[1] The Mössbauer spectrometer on Spirit measured the oxidation state of Fe, identified Fe-bearing phases, and measured relative abundances of Fe among those phases for surface materials on the plains and in the Columbia Hills of Gusev crater. Eight Fe-bearing phases were identified: olivine, pyroxene, ilmenite, magnetite, nanophase ferric oxide (npOx), hematite, goethite, and a Fe-sulfate. Adi...
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 کاملCo2 Solubility in Martian Basalts and Applications to Atmospheric Evolution
Introduction: A strong early Martian greenhouse atmosphere is required to account for evidence of liquid water on the surface of Mars [e.g. 1]. Many models of Mars’ atmospheric evolution incorporate magmatic outgassing fluxes of CO2 based on analogy to terrestrial magmas [2-5]. Here we investigate the solubility of carbon dioxide in Martian analogue basaltic melts at 2.0 GPa to constrain this i...
