Low pressure melting experiments on eucritic meteorites show that low pressure fractionation of pigeonite and plagioclase from liquids similar in composition to the Sioux County and Juvinas eucrites can account for the compositional variations of most eucritic meteorites. However, the compositions of the Stannern and Ibitira eucrites cannot be produced in this manner. It is unlikely that liquids similar in composition to the Stannern, Ibitira, and Sioux County eucrites were residual liquids produced by extensive low pressure fractionation of more magnesian liquids, but they could have been produced by increasing degrees of low pressure partial melting of an olivine, pigeonite, plagioclase, Cr-rich spinel, and metal assemblage.
