Thermal history of Acapulco and ALHA81261 acapulcoites constrained by Fe2+-Mg ordering in orthopyroxene
The quenched Fe2+-Mg ordering states of four orthopyroxene crystals from the Acapulco meteorite and two from the Antarctic ALHA81261 acapulcoite were determined from X-ray single-crystal diffraction and electron-microprobe analysis. The closure temperatures of cation ordering were 49028 and 46543°C...
