Petrology 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 کاملTRACE 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 کاملThe 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 کاملHydrothermal jarosite and hematite in a pyroxene-hosted melt inclusion in martian meteorite Miller Range (MIL) 03346: Implications for magmatic-hydrothermal fluids on Mars
Low-temperature aqueous processes have been implicated in the generation of jarosite and hematite on the martian surface, but little is known regarding the role that high-temperature magmatic fluids may have played in producing similar assemblages on Mars. We have identified jarosite and hematite in a clinopyroxene-hosted melt inclusion in martian meteorite MIL 03346 that shows evidence of havi...
