متن کاملPSRD: The Importance of When
Unraveling a planet's geologic evolution requires knowing what happened and when it happened. Two recent studies of the ages of Martian meteorites illuminate the early and late stages of Martian crust formation. One, by Munir Humayun (Florida State University) and colleagues in Australia and France studied Martian meteorite NWA 7533, an impact melt breccia composed of alkali-rich basalt similar...
متن کاملDiscovery of stishovite in Apollo 15299 sample
High-pressure polymorphs recovered in terrestrial craters are evidence of meteoroid impact events on the Earth’s surface. Despite countless impact craters on the Moon, high-pressure polymorphs have not been reported to date in returned Apollo samples. On the other hand, recent studies report that the high-pressure polymorphs of silica, coesite and stishovite occur in shocked lunar meteorites. W...
متن کاملEvidence for a widespread basaltic breccia component in the martian low-albedo regions from the reflectance spectrum of Northwest Africa 7034
Northwest Africa (NWA) 7034 is the first breccia meteorite from Mars, and unlike the shergottite, nakhlite, and chassignite (SNC) martian meteorites, it matches the estimated chemical composition of martian crust. Here we show that the visible-infrared reflectance spectrum of NWA 7034 is unique compared to other SNCs and is more similar than them to remotely sensed data from Mars, suggesting th...
