Scientific paper

The paper reports on a synthesis of the silicate mineralogy of a planetary basalt suite, which concerns itself only with specific aspects of pyroxene cation substitutional couples. Consideration is given to the mineral chemistry and the basalt suites in an overview fashion. Attention is given to those characteristics of pyroxene chemistry that reflect planetary constraints on the host basalts from which the pyroxenes crystallized. It is concluded that the inspection of a large number of high quality silicate analyses of pyroxenes demonstrates conclusively that these phases carry a signature of the planetary body in which they evolved. In addition, it is noted that there are planetary probes capable of constraining thermodynamic parameters that were obtained during the petrogenesis of their host basaltic liquids
