Dar Al Gani 896: a Unique Picritic Achondrite

Crystallization Experiments of Dar Al Gani Martian Meteoites: a Preliminary

Introduction: Recently, a lot of basaltic shergottites have been found from the desert areas in northern Africa and Middle East Asia. Most of them contain large olivine grains that are not present in the previously known basaltic shergottites (except for EETA79001). These olivine grains are mostly Mg-rich, but they show different mineralogical features in each meteorite. Dar al Gani 476 and its...

Carbonaceous Chondrite Fragments in the Polymict Eucrite

Introduction: Buchanan et al. [1] and Zolensky et al. [2] described carbonaceous chondrite fragments in a variety of howardites and concluded that the majority are CM2 and CR2 materials. Gounelle et al. [3] also described similar, but very small, fragments in these meteorites. These clasts are important because they represent materials that were in orbital proximity to the HED parent body (4 Ve...

Shock Induced Feldspar and Silica Transformation in Polymict Eucrite

Introduction: Howardite-eucrite-diogenite (HED) meteorites belong to the largest group of achondrites and originate from protoplanet 4 Vesta. The surface of Vesta has been extensively affected by impacts which brecciated and mixed eucrite and diogenite material to produce a regolith and formed large basins in the south pole region [1]. Shock features preserved in meteorites due to high-velocity...
