[meteorite-list] Abstracts about NWA 5789 and NWA 5990

[Chladnis Heirs]

Good evening,

we forgot to point out, that the abstracts abouth both in their way unique
new Martians were made available online.
>From the program of the upcoming LPSC:

Irving A. J. Kuehner S. M. Herd C. D. K. Gellissen M. Korotev R. L. Puchtel
I. Walker R. J. Lapen T. Rumble D. III:
Petrologic, Elemental and Multi-Isotopic Characterization of Permafic
Olivine-Phyric Shergottite Northwest Africa 5789: 
A Primitive Magma Derived from Depleted Martian Mantle

http://www.lpi.usra.edu/meetings/lpsc2010/pdf/1547.pdf

We report on an extensive petrological-chemical study of a very primitive
depleted shergottite, which is similar in many (but not all) respects to
Yamato 980459/98497.


and


Irving A. J. Kuehner S. M. Herd C. D. K. Gellissen M. Rumble D. III Lapen T.
J. Ralew S. Altmann M.:
Olivine-bearing Diabasic Shergottite Northwest Africa 5990: 
Petrology and Composition of a New Type of Depleted Martian Igneous Rock

http://www.lpi.usra.edu/meetings/lpsc2010/pdf/1833.pdf

Petrologic, elemental and Nd isotope characteristics of a depleted permafic
shergottite, which bridges the gap between most olivine-phyric shergottites
and QUE 94201.
