The Twin Sisters dunite and the two newly found smaller dunite bodies are almost identical lithologically. In addition, seven small pod-shaped ser pentinite bodies are located nearby; …

Here, we investigate olivine grains from the dunite clast using electron backscatter diffraction [EBSD] methods [8-10] to constrain the shock deformation history of the clast, with the goal of …

Africa (NWA) 11421. The dunite consists of 95% olivine (Fo83), wit low-Ca 17 and high-Ca pyroxenes, plagioclase, and chrome spinel. Mineral compositions vary little 18 across the …

Abstract–Remotely sensed observations from recent missions (e.g., GRAIL, Kaguya, Chandrayaan-1) have been interpreted as indicating that the deep crust and upper mantle are …

Dunite is an igneous, plutonic rock, of ultramafic composition, with coarse-grained or phaneritic texture. The mineral assemblage is greater than 90% olivine, with minor amounts of other …

Introduction: Dunite is among the rarest lunar li-thologies, being represented in the Apollo collection by one macroscopic sample (72415 [1-3]) and a few clasts in polymict breccias [4,5].

On the basis of a study of the petrography and mineral compositions of 43 spinel lherzolites, 12 pyroxenites, and 20 dunites, the following characteristics of the dunites in relation to the other …
