Is EETA79001 Lithology B A True Melt Composition?
Abstract
EETA79001 is a member of the SNC (shergottite, nakhlite, chassignite) group of Martian meteorites. Most SNC meteorites are cumulates or partial cumulates [1] inhibiting calculation of parent magma compositions; only two (QUE94201 and Y- 980459) have been previously identified as true melt compositions. The goal of this study is to test whether EETA79001-B may also represent an equilibrium melt composition, which could potentially expand the current understanding of martian petrology.
