Larkman Nunatak (LAR) 12095 and LAR 12240 are recent olivine-phyric shergottite lnds. We report the results of petrographic and chemical analyses of these two samples to understand their petrogenesis on Mars. Based on our analyses, we suggest that th

The fall and recovery of the Tissint meteorite in 2011 created a rare opportunity to examine a Martian sample with a known, short residence time on Earth. Tissint is an olivine-phyric shergottite that accumulated olivine antecrysts within a single ma

Northwest Africa (NWA) 7397 is a newly discovered, enriched, lherzolitic shergottite, the third described example of this group. This meteorite consists of two distinct textural lithologies (1) poikilitic—comprised of zoned pyroxene oikocrysts, wit

[1] Martian primary compositions, i.e., magmas that did not experience fractionation and/or contamination after extraction from the mantle, occur as a subset of Martian meteorites and a few lavas analyzed on the planet's surface by rovers. Eruptions

[1] The MELTS algorithm, the most commonly used tool for calculating crystallization of basaltic magmas, uses thermodynamic parameters calibrated by experiments on select compositions, and thus, its use on newly discovered extraterrestrial compositio

Shergottites, the most abundant martian meteorites, represent the best source of information about Mars’ mantle and its dissolved water. If the mantle was wet, magmatic degassing could have supplied substantial water to the martian surface early in

Several olivine-phyric shergottites contain enough olivine that they could conceivably represent the products of closed-system crystallization of primary melts derived from partial melting of the Martian mantle. Larkman Nunatak (LAR) 06319 has been s

Previous studies of Elephant Moraine (EET) 79001 disagreed upon the nature of the magnesian olivine and orthopyroxene grains, and generally considered the formation of EET 79001 at low pressure conditions. New observations on mineral associations, an

NWA 2737, the second known chassignite, mainly consists of cumulate olivine crystals of homogeneous composition (Fo=78.7 +/- 0.9). These brown colored olivine grains exhibit two sets of perpendicular planar defects due to shock. Two forms of trapped
