| Description | To see if there is any relationship between primitive shergottites such as Eg and evolved shergottites such as Shergotty and Zagami, we performed one-bar experiments on the Eg composition. Broadly, our experimental results compare favorably with prediction. Our inferred phase diagram and comparison to Shergotty and Zagami melting experiments of Stolper and McSween are given. It does not appear possible to derive bulk Shergotty or Zagami by either equilibrium or fractional crystallization of Eg. However, if Shergotty and Zagami are cumulates, it may be possible to derive the inferred interstitial liquid from a composition such as Eg. |
