Oxygen Isotope Compositions of Mineral Separates from Snc Meteorites: Constraints on the Petrogenesis of Martian Magmas
Introduction: Martian (SNC) meteorites are igneous rocks that range from a reduced, trace-element depleted end member to an oxidized, trace-element enriched end member [1-3] (Figure 1). One interpretation of this trend is that relatively reduced, depleted magmas are partial melts of a reduced peridotitic mantle, whereas more oxidized, enriched magmas are mantle-derived magmas contaminated by ox...
متن کاملMantle Metasomatism in Mars: Evidence from Bulk Chemical Compositions of Martian
Bulk compositions of martian meteorite basalts suggest that they formed from a highly depleted mantle that was variably metasomatised and enriched in incompatible elements. These results are consistent with radio-isotope results Bulk chemical compositions of basaltic rocks retain clues and tracers to their origins and histories. Interpretations of bulk compositions are not so straight-forward a...
متن کاملIn-situ acoustic-based analysis system for physical and chemical properties of the lower Martian atmosphere
The Environmental Acoustic Reconnaissance and Sounding experiment (EARS), is composed of two parts: the Environmental Acoustic Reconnaissance (EAR) instrument and the Environmental Acoustic Sounding Experiment (EASE). They are distinct, but have the common objective of characterizing the acoustic environment of Mars. The principal goal of the EAR instrument is "listening" to Mars. This could be...
متن کاملSequestration of Martian CO2 by mineral carbonation
Carbonation is the water-mediated replacement of silicate minerals, such as olivine, by carbonate, and is commonplace in the Earth's crust. This reaction can remove significant quantities of CO2 from the atmosphere and store it over geological timescales. Here we present the first direct evidence for CO2 sequestration and storage on Mars by mineral carbonation. Electron beam imaging and analysi...
متن کاملChemical composition and the nutritive value of pistachio epicarp (in situ degradation and in vitro gas production techniques)
The nutritive value of pistachio epicarp (PE) was evaluated by in situ and in vitro techniques. Chemical analysis indicated that PE was high in crude protein (11.30%) and low in neutral detergent fiber (26.20%). Total phenols, total tannins, condensed tannins and hydrolysable tannins contents in PE were 8.29%, 4.48%, 0.49% and 3.79%, respectively. Ruminal dry matter and crude ...
