Scientific paper

The primary goal of this study is to determine the composition of Nakhla's intercumulus magma, the magma trapped among the cumulus minerals at the time of crystal settling. It is important to know whether the intercumulus magma was in equilibrium with the cumulus mineral, i.e. whether the intercumulus magma was parental to the Nakhla meteorite. Discussion of the intercumulus magma entails three topics: calculation of the magma composition, determination of equilibrium between magma and cumulus crystals, and evaluation of phase relations for the magma composition.
