Comparison of the Lithologies on the Surface of the Asteroid 4 Vesta Based on the Petrology of 91 and 92 Series Antarctic Achondrites
We studied meteorite sections PCA91179,9; EET92003,14; EET92025,5; EET92026,4; and EET92027,5 t determine lithological variations on the surface of the asteroid 4 Vesta. These are brecciated polymict eucrites. The clasts contained within these samples and the matrix which surrounds them in each samp...

Summary: | We studied meteorite sections PCA91179,9; EET92003,14; EET92025,5; EET92026,4; and EET92027,5 t determine lithological variations on the surface of the asteroid 4 Vesta. These are brecciated polymict eucrites. The clasts contained within these samples and the matrix which surrounds them in each sample provide a random sampling of the characteristic compositions found on the surface of asteroid 4 Vesta. |
