Nakhla, which is one of the SNC meteorites, is mainly composed of CPX, olivine and mesostasis. The pyroxenes have igneous elemental zoning, especially with respect to Mg, Al, Ti and Fe, which would preserved information about the formation process of Nakhla and the composition of the Martian magma from which it was formed. A series of crystallization experiments were performed over a range of cooling rates using a synthetic Nakhla composition. By comparing the compositions and textures of pyroxenes from these experiments with natural pyroxenes in Nakhla, we hope to provide additional constraints on the formation of Nakhla.
