    Subsurface Salts in Antarctic Dry Valley Soils (2013)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-07-13
    Description: The distribution of water-soluble ions, major and minor elements, and other parameters were examined to determine the extent and effects of chemical weathering on cold desert soils. Patterns at the study sites support theories of multiple salt forming processes, including marine aerosols and chemical weathering of mafic minerals. Periodic solar-mediated ionization of atmospheric nitrogen might also produce high nitrate concentrations found in older sediments. Chemical weathering, however, was the major contributor of salts in Antarctic Dry Valleys. The Antarctic Dry Valleys represent a unique analog for Mars, as they are extremely cold and dry desert environments. Similarities in the climate, surface geology, and chemical properties of the Dry Valleys to that of Mars imply the possible presence of these soil formation mechanisms on Mars, other planets and icy satellites.

    Petrology of the Indian Eucrite Piplia Kalan (1999)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-07-10
    Description: Piplia Kalan is an equilibrated eucrite consisting of 60-80 vol.% lithic clasts in a subordinate brecciated matrix. Ophitic/subophitic lithic clasts fall into two groups: finer-grained lithology A and coarser-grained lithology B. Very fine-grained clasts (lithology C) also occur and originally were hypocrystalline in texture. The variety of materials represented in Piplia Kalan suggests cooling histories ranging from quenching or fast crystallization to slower crystallization. Despite textural differences, clasts and matrix have similar mineral and bulk compositions. Thus. Piplia Kalan is probably best classified as a genomict breccia that could represent fragments of a single lava flow or shallow intrusive body, including fine-grained or glassy outer margin and more slowly cooled coarser-grained interior. Piplia Kalan displays evidence of an early shock event, including brecciated matrix and areas of lithic clasts that contain fine-grained, equigranular pyroxene between deformed feldspar laths. The meteorite also displays evidence of at least one episode of thermal metamorphism: hypocrystalline materials are recrystallized to hornfelsic textures and the matrix has a nonporous texture similar to those of eucrites that were affected by post-brecciation heating. Veins of brown glass transect both lithic clasts and brecciated matrix and indicate a second, post-metamorphism shock event.
