Notes. These data are from Valenzuela Picón (2011). Abundances are presented in wt (%). Pyroxene corresponds to diopside and enstatite. Primary minerals are olivine, pyroxene, Fe-Ni, and troillite. Secondary minerals minerals are formed from secondary processes, including both thermal metamorphism and aqueous alteration (albite, anorthite, and likely magnetite). Minerals formed from terrestrial weathering are separate from these (goethtite, hematite; IMA symbol).

Current usage metrics show cumulative count of Article Views (full-text article views including HTML views, PDF and ePub downloads, according to the available data) and Abstracts Views on Vision4Press platform.

Data correspond to usage on the plateform after 2015. The current usage metrics is available 48-96 hours after online publication and is updated daily on week days.
