    Mid-infrared spectra of Martian komantiite (1992)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2013-08-29
    Description: Synthetic mid-infrared emissive spectra of basalts of possible Martian komatiitic compositions were generated to show what might be seen in data returned from the Thermal Emission Spectrometer (TES). TES is flying on the Mars Observer arriving at Mars in late 1993. The synthetic Martian komatiite spectra were generated using mineralogy based on Shergottite, Nakhlite, and Chassigny (SNC) meteorites and Viking X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) data. These data sets provide strong evidence for the existence of ultramafic lavas on Mars, particularly lavas of komatiitic composition.

    Evidence for komatiite-type lavas on Mars from Phobos ISM data and other observations (1994)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-08-27
    Description: Data from the Phobos 2 Imaging Spectrometer for Mars (ISM), compiled by Mustard et al. (1993), and other observations support the existence of komatiitic lavas on Mars. Mustard et al. (1993) determined from ISM data that the composition of the low-albedo materials covering the Syrtis Major plateau originally consisted of augite-bearing basalt containing both augite and pigeonite, with no appreciable amount of olivine. This description is consistent with a komatiitic basalt. Komatiite is significant for the Earth because it contains a high amount of MgO, implying generation under unique circumstances compared to more typical basaltic compositions and may be similarly important for Mars.
