Wadhwa J. D. Gilmour WadhwaM. * Quantitative Constraints on the Redox State of Martian Magmas from Eu Anomalies in Pyroxenes of Basaltic Shergottites [#1966] In this work, a quantitative method for determining thefo2 of basaltic shergottite parent magmas is presented. Implications are presented for the oxidation state of the source of the parent melts of the basaltic shergottites in the Mars mantle. McKay G. * Mikouchi T. Le L. Schwandt C. Hashimoto M. The Shergotty Paradox: An Experimental Perspective on lntercumulus Melt Compositions [#2000] Experiments on a petrographic estimate of Shergotty intercumulus melt (ICM) composition suggest it is not a good analog for the Shergotty ICM. Changes in P andfo2 do not improve the match. The origin of this mismatch remains an unresolved paradox. Rubin A. E.* Warren P. H. Greenwood J.P. Verish R. S. Leshin L.A. Hervig R. L. Petrology of Los Angeles: A New Basaltic Shergottite Find [#1963] Los Angeles is a new basaltic shergottite find with -46 vol% maskelynite and -40 vol% pyroxene that is more ferroan than that in QUE94201. Augite exsolution lamellae are coarser than in Shergotty or Zagami. Martian origin is indicated by petrography and high D/H ratio. Warren P. H.* Greenwood J. P. Richardson J. W. Rubin A. E. Verish R. S. Geochemistry of Los Angeles, a Ferroan, La- and Th-rich Basalt from Mars [#2001] The Los Angeles shergottite resembles Shergotty and Zagami, but is by far the most ferroan, La-rich, and Th-rich rock yet from Mars. The smaller of two stones appears subtly different in composition, with higher proportions of late-stage components. Borg L. E.* Nyquist L. E. Wiesmann H. Reese Y. Papike J. J. Sr-Nd Isotopic Systematics of Martian Meteorite DaG476 [#1036] The martian meteorite DaG476 is determined to have a Sm-Nd age of 474±11 Ma and an initial fNd value of +36.6±0.8. Wadhwa M. Lentz R. C. F. McSween H. Y. Jr. Crozaz G.* Dar Al Gani 476 and Dar Al Gani 489, Twin Shergottites from Mars [#1413] Two martian meteorites, DaG 476 and DaG 489, were recently recovered from the Libyan Sahara. Here, we present a combined mineralogic-petrologic and ion microprobe study, which confirms that these two meteorites are likely to be paired. 31st LPSC Program 1 Greshake A. * Stoffler D. Shock Related Melting Phenomena in the SNC Meteorite Dar Al Gani 476 [#1043] Dar al Gani 476 contains unusual regions of shock melting which are very different from melt veins in other meteorites. It is suggested that melting here is caused by primary pores whose extremely low shock impedance caused a very high and localized thermal peak. Herd C. D. K. * Jones J. H. Papike J. J. Experimental Constraints on the Cr Content, Oxygen Fugacity, and Petrogenesis of EETA79001 Lithology A [#1387] Experiments involving the composition of the groundmass ofEETA79001 Lithology A constrain the Cr content of the melt and the oxygen fugacity, and suggest that overgrowth of olivine and pyroxene from the groundmass onto xenocrysts has occurred.

    Martian Crater Morphology

    ANALYSIS OF THE DEPTH-DIAMETER RELATIONSHIP OF MARTIAN CRATERS A Capstone Experience Thesis Presented by Jared Howenstine Completion Date: May 2006 Approved By: Professor M. Darby Dyar, Astronomy Professor Christopher Condit, Geology Professor Judith Young, Astronomy Abstract Title: Analysis of the Depth-Diameter Relationship of Martian Craters Author: Jared Howenstine, Astronomy Approved By: Judith Young, Astronomy Approved By: M. Darby Dyar, Astronomy Approved By: Christopher Condit, Geology CE Type: Departmental Honors Project Using a gridded version of maritan topography with the computer program Gridview, this project studied the depth-diameter relationship of martian impact craters. The work encompasses 361 profiles of impacts with diameters larger than 15 kilometers and is a continuation of work that was started at the Lunar and Planetary Institute in Houston, Texas under the guidance of Dr. Walter S. Keifer. Using the most ‘pristine,’ or deepest craters in the data a depth-diameter relationship was determined: d = 0.610D 0.327 , where d is the depth of the crater and D is the diameter of the crater, both in kilometers. This relationship can then be used to estimate the theoretical depth of any impact radius, and therefore can be used to estimate the pristine shape of the crater. With a depth-diameter ratio for a particular crater, the measured depth can then be compared to this theoretical value and an estimate of the amount of material within the crater, or fill, can then be calculated. The data includes 140 named impact craters, 3 basins, and 218 other impacts. The named data encompasses all named impact structures of greater than 100 kilometers in diameter.

Usually they have been excluded from major outflow channel systems that cut the eastern Hel- the crater counts because of the uncertainty of their las rim region of Mars (Fig. 1). It is ~800 km long and origin (primary vs. secondary crater). However, small located ~450 km south of Hadriaca Patera starting craters accumulate to the surface more quickly than close to the end of another valley, Reull Vallis. Due to larger ones, and thus the high spatial resolution is nec- the close position to the volcanic features, the channels essary in dating younger surfaces or small units where are suggested to have been formed by the mobilization there are only few large craters.

  • New Chryse and the Provinces

    New Chryse and the Provinces

    New Chryse and the Provinces The city of New Chryse is actually several connected cities. The Upper City is located on a break in the crater rim, looking down past a steep rock to the Lower City. Inside the da Vinci crater rim lies the Inner City, also known as the Old City – Red Era tunnels and cave shelters, as well as several nanocomposite towers and cupolas on Mona Lys Ridge looking down on the lower parts of the city. The Lower city lies in a valley sloping down to the Harbour City, which fills a crater 20 kilometres to the East. The Harbour City crater is connected to Camiling Bay and the sea through two canyons and is very well protected from both wind and ice. South of the Lower City and Harbour City lies The Slopes, a straight slope into the sea that is covered with sprawl and slums. Mona Lys Ridge is a mixture of palatial estates surrounded by gardens, imposing official imperial buildings and towering ancient structures used by the highest ranks of the Empire. The central imperial administration and especially the Council is housed in the Deimos Needle, a diamondoid tower that together with its sibling the Phobos Needle dominate the skyline. Escalators allow swift and discreet transport down to the lower levels of the city, and can easily be defended by the police force. North of Mona Lys lies a secluded garden city for higher administrators, guild officials and lesser nobility. The Inner City is to a large extent part of Mona Lys, although most of the inhabitants of Mona Lys do not care much for the dusty old tunnels and hidden vaults – that is left to the Guild of Antiquarians who maintain and protect it.
