The shergottites, nakhlites, and Chassigny (SNC meteorites) are apparently cumulate mafic
and ultramafic rocks that crystallized at shallow levels in the crust of their parent body. The …

Low pressure melting experiments on eucritic meteorites demonstrate that the compositions
of most eucrites can be generated by low pressure fractionation of pigeonite and plagioclase …

An ever-increasing concern over environmental degradation, together with recent
technological advances, has spawned an explosion of chemical data for a wide variety of …

The seven nakhlite meteorites are augite-rich igneous rocks that formed in flows or shallow
intrusions of basaltic magma on Mars. They consist of euhedral to subhedral crystals of …

Using Dawn's Gamma Ray and Neutron Detector, we tested models of Vesta's evolution
based on studies of howardite, eucrite, and diogenite (HED) meteorites. Global Fe/O and …

The rover Opportunity has investigated the rim of Endeavour Crater, a large ancient impact
crater on Mars. Basaltic breccias produced by the impact form the rim deposits, with …

Shergottites contain cumulus pigeonite and augite, probably without cumulus plagioclase
and crystallized under relatively oxidizing conditions. Shergotty and Zagami may differ in the …

Literature data on major and trace elemental abundances and water contents of the
shergottite, nakhlite, and chassigny (SNC) meteorites are compiled and evaluated. The …

The Chassigny meteorite is a moderately shocked olivine achondrite or chassignite with
features indicative of a cumulate origin with some subsolidus annealing. Chassigny is an …

A number of martian meteorite samples contain secondary alteration minerals such as Ca‐
Mg‐Fe carbonates, Fe oxides, and clay minerals. These mineral assemblages hint at …
