Modal mineralogy of CV3 chondrites by X-ray diffraction (PSD-XRD)

Using position sensitive detector X-ray diffraction (PSD-XRD) we determine a complete modal mineralogy for all phases present in abundances greater than 1 wt% in Vigarano, Efremovka, Mokoia, Grosnaja, Kaba and Allende. Reduced CV3 samples are comprised of (vol%): olivine (83–85%); enstatite (6.5–8.1...
