Magmatic inclusions occur in both chadacrystic olivine and oikocrystic pigeonite in ALH77005, but are different from each other. Magmatic inclusions in olivine consist mainly of aluminous pyroxenes, intergrowths of plagioclase and silica, silica-predominant glass, and rhyodacitic glass, with minor amounts of chromite, spinel, pyrrhotite, and whitlockite. Those in pigeonite consist mainly of aluminous pyroxenes, non-aluminous ferroan pyroxenes, kaersutite, spinel, and K-rich trachytic glass with minor amounts of pyrrhotite and whitlockite. The magmatic inclusions in chadacrystic olivine formed from trapped melts that were basaltic, apparently dry and crystallized additional olivine metastably. The basaltic magma, with entrained olivine, experienced magma mixing with K-rich and wet magmas, or assimilation of such crustal rocks, in the early to middle stages of the crystallization sequence of ALH77005 during crystallization of chadacrystic olivine prior to precipitation of oikocrystic pigeonite. However the amount of mixed magmas or assimilated rocks was minor in comparison to the basaltic magma. Crystallization of pigeonite, augite, and plagioclase in the host lithologies took place in a shallow magma reservoir under an open system condition, and the pigeonite trapped basaltic andesite to trachyandesitic melts, which resulted in magmatic inclusions in oikocrystic pigeonite. The magmatic inclusions in both olivine and pigeonite were formed under a rapid cooling condition, resulting in a variety of inclusions. Kaersutite in magmatic inclusions in oikocrystic pigeonite crystallized under a closed system wet condition during the late stage crystallization of the inclusions.
