Lunar Mare Basalts as Analogues for Martian Volcanic Compositions: Evidence from Visible, Near-ir, and Thermal Emission Spectroscopy
Introduction: The lunar mare basalts potentially provide a unique sample suite for understanding the nature of basalts on the martian surface. Our current knowledge of the mineralogical and chemical composition of the basaltic material on Mars comes from studies of the basaltic martian meteorites and from orbital and surface remote sensing observations. Petrographic observations of basaltic mar...
متن کاملMaskelynite in Basaltic Meteorites: an Indicator of Shock Pressure during Impact Ejection from Parent Bodies
Introduction: Basaltic rocks available for laboratory study include samples from the Earth, Moon, Mars and at least seven asteroids – the parent bodies of eu-crites (probably 4 Vesta), angrites, mesosiderites, and Shock Effects in Retrieved Lunar Rocks: None of the shock effects in Apollo samples were produced during launch of these rocks off the lunar surface. Consequently , most Apollo mare b...
متن کاملHeterogeneous Noble Gas Distribution in the Nwa 2737
Introduction: NWA 2737 is the second chassignite, whose brown colored appearance different from Chassigny would be due to shock metamorphism. Noble gas compositions so far reported for the NWA 2737 [1, 2] are largely different from those of Chassigny. High Xe/Xe up to ~2 observed in NWA 2737 might be shock-implanted Martian atmospheric Xe. Common ejection event at ∼11 Myr was suggested for NWA ...
متن کاملElemental composition of the Martian crust.
The composition of Mars' crust records the planet's integrated geologic history and provides clues to its differentiation. Spacecraft and meteorite data now provide a global view of the chemistry of the igneous crust that can be used to assess this history. Surface rocks on Mars are dominantly tholeiitic basalts formed by extensive partial melting and are not highly weathered. Siliceous or calc...
متن کاملXenon Isotopes in Shergottites Rbt 04262, Dag 489, Shergotty and Eet
Introduction: Previous research on noble gases within Martian meteorites has identified numerous distinct trapped Xe components that have characteristic isotopic signatures. Three distinct reservoirs are needed to explain these components. One reservoir is the Martian atmosphere, containing an elevated 129 Xe/ 132 Xe of 2.4 [1], which has clearly contributed to the Xe budget in the Martian mete...
