51st Lunar and Planetary Science Conference, March 16–20, 2020, in The Woodlands, Texas We have studied two ureilites named EET 96042 and MIL 090031 using X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) to characterize the pristine (unweathered) ureilitic mineralogy. We acknowledge support from the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation (project PGC2018-097374-B-I00, PI: JMTR). US Antarctic meteorite samples are recovered by the Antarctic Search for Meteorites (ANSMET) program which has been funded by NSF and NASA, and characterized and curated by the Department of Mineral Sciences of the Smithsonian Institution and Astromaterials Acquisition and Curation Office at NASA Johnson Space Center.
