Nakhlites are a group of Martian meteorites, named after the first one, Nakhla meteorite . Nakhlites are igneous rocks that are rich in augite and were formed from basaltic magma about 1.3 billion years ago. They contain augite and olivine crystals.

Jul 20, 2005 · Nakhlites are achondrite meteorites rich in clinopyroxene; extra-terrestrial basaltic rocks composed primarily of augite. The nakhlite lavas erupted and cooled on Mars, and so they are important sources of data about Mars, including: mantle composition, surface materials, atmosphere composition, liquid water, and potential environments for life.

Sep 4, 2019 · The nakhlite meteorites are a suite of pyroxene-rich mafic igneous rocks from Mars . They typically comprise elongate, subhedral to euhedral prisms of augite (68 to 81 volume %), phenocrysts of olivine (3 to 17 volume %), and an interstitial fine-grained mesostasis (8 to 22 volume %) ( 1 ).

Jul 20, 2005 · Abstract. The seven nakhlite meteorites are augite-rich igneous rocks that formed in flows or shallow intrusions of basaltic magma on Mars. They consist of euhedral to subhedral crystals of augite and olivine (to 1 cm long) in fine-grained mesostases. The augite crystals have homogeneous cores of Mg′=63% and rims that are normally zoned to ...

Nakhla is a Martian meteorite which fell in Egypt in 1911. It was the first meteorite reported from Egypt, the first one to suggest signs of aqueous processes on Mars, and the prototype for Nakhlite type of meteorites.
