Modal mineralogy of CM2 chondrites by X-ray diffraction (PSD-XRD). Part 1: Total phyllosilicate abundance and the degree of aqueous alteration

Modal mineralogy of CM2 chondrites by X-ray diffraction (PSD-XRD). Part 1: Total phyllosilicate abundance and the degree of aqueous alteration

CM carbonaceous chondrites are samples of incompletely serpentinized primitive asteroids. Using position sensitive detector X-ray diffraction (PSD-XRD) and a pattern stripping technique, we quantify the modal mineralogy of CM2 chondrites: Mighei; Murray; Murchison; Nogoya and Cold Bokkeveld. There i...
