[meteorite-list] Rock Forming Minerals

[Greg Stanley]

List:

I have a question:

I was looking a the Bowen Series of rock forming minerals on earth and was wondering.  Is there a similar sequence (or order) of mineral formation for: a) minerals on asteroids, b) mineral on Mars, and c) minerals on the moon.  It would be interesting to compare and see the differences and similarities.

Also would Olivine or pyroxene be the most common mineral in the solar system? Or perhaps something else?

If I'm not mistaken, the feldspar group of minerals in the most common on earth.

Much Thanks,

Greg S.
