They compared these to meteorite samples, particularly enstatite chondrites and another type called enstatite achondrites.
The results suggest that a mixture of chondrites, rather than enstatite chondrites alone, probably combined to create the Earth.
As path T to P is alonga reaction curve, olivine reacts with the liquid and enstatite is precipitated.
13), where olivine reacts with the liquid, as enstatite precipitates.
That mineral also predominates in a group of meteorites called
enstatite achondrites.
Significant quantities of
enstatite have been observed from the southern part of the permit.
This spectrum was then compared with that of meteorites found on Earth that have been extensively studied in the laboratory and only one type of meteorite,
enstatite chondrites, was found to have properties that matched Lutetia over the full range of colours.
Orthopyroxene forms in primitive (high-MgO) basalts but as differentiation proceeds, it is replaced by pigeonite once the
enstatite component falls below 60 to 70 atomic percent.
005 to 1 micrometer and "silicate" (which could be
enstatite, olivine, silicon carbide, iron or magnetite) grains ranging from 0.
The minerals include:
enstatite, clinopyroxene, amphibole, mica, chromite, ilmenite, magnetite, garnet and corundum.
A wide variety of Mg-bearing materials, such as
enstatite, fly ash and other industrial residues were investigated as potential starting materials for the industrial carbonation process.
