The differentiation of meteorite parent bodies by melting of chondritic precursors is a fundamental process in the formation of achondrites. These processes can be partially duplicated by laboratory experiments, which have shed significant new light on the melting of ordinary and carbonaceous chondrites. Less progress has been made in understanding the melting of enstatite chondrites, in large part because of their highly reduced nature and difficulty reproducing these conditions experimentally. We report new experiments on the melting of the Indarch EH4 chondrite from 1000 to 1425 C under highly reducing conditions. We use these experiments to understand the physical and chemical processes occurring during differentiation of enstatite meteorite parent bodies.
