LOW-CALCIUM PIGEONITE IN NORTHWEST AFRICA AND ASUKA UREILITES WITH REFERENCE TO

Introduction: The pyroxene polymorphic pairs found in the Antarctic ureilites have been helping us to deduce their annealing temperatures and cooling histories [e.g., 1-3]. Coexisting orthopyroxene (Opx) and pigeonite (Pig) assemblages occur only in the magnesian group [3]. Low-Ca clinopyroxenes wit...
