Description

Our mineralogical study on new nakhlite Martian meteorites (3 MIL09 Antarctic meteorites and NWA5790) showed that 3 MILs are paired with MIL03346, and NWA5790 has the largest mesostasis abundance among known nakhlites with extensive chemical zoning of augite and olivine. These results are consistent with the proposed model for the nakhlite igneous body (cumulus a crystals are loosely packed near the surface and become more closely packed with increasing depth). NWA5790 appears to have been located at the top most part of the cumulus pile, but the obtained cooling rate is indistinguishable from those of NWA817 and MIL (∼0.5 deg/hr).
