On the Original-Igneous Source of Martian Fines
The composition of the silicate portion of Martian regolith fines indicates derivation of the fines from mafic to ultramafic igneous rocks, probably rich in pyroxene. Rock types similar in chemical and mineralogical composition include terrestrial Archean basalts and certain achondrite meteorites. If these igneous rocks weathered nearly isochemically, the nontronitic clays proposed earlier as a...
متن کاملCompositional Controls on the Formation of Kaersutite Amphibole in Shergottite Meteorites
Introduction: The shergottite basalts, meteorites of Martian origin, contain rare small grains (~10-100 μm diam.) of kaersutite, a Ca-amphibole rich in Al and Ti [1-3]. Kaersutites have been used to estimate the water content of shergottites and the Martian mantle [4]; however, questions remain about the original water content of the amphiboles [5] and if they formed from magma [6]. We investig...
متن کاملThe Roles of Lherzolite and Garnet Pyroxenite
Textural, major element and trace element data for xeno-liths from Salt Lake Crater, Hawaii indicate that typical four phase lherzolite inclusions (olivine, orthopyroxene, chrome diopside and spinel) found worldwide in basalts are not samples of primitive upper mantle. Rather, lherzolite may be the recrystallized residue left after a basaltic melt extracts the easily fused components from pre-e...
متن کاملAges and Geologic Histories of Martian Meteorites
We review the radiometric ages of the 16 currently known Martian meteorites, classified as 11 shergottites (8 basaltic and 3 lherzolitic), 3 nakhlites (clinopyroxenites), Chassigny (a dunite), and the orthopyroxenite ALH84001. The basaltic shergottites represent surface lava flows, the others magmas that solidified at depth. Shock effects correlate with these compositional types, and, in each c...
متن کاملMelting of Model Martian Mantle at High-pressure: Implications for the Composition of the Martian Basalt Source Region
High-pressure melting experiments on the Homestead L5 ordinary chondrite were performed at 5 GPa in a multi-anvil device over a temperature interval that ranged from near solidus to near liquidus conditions. Near solidus silicate liquids of Homestead have higher CaO/Al2O3 and lower Mg# compared to solidus liquids of terrestrial peridotite (e.g.: KLB-1) at this pressure. The silicate portion of ...
