New Rock Types from Mars: Trace Element Signatures in NWA 7034 Clasts

Abstract

NWA 7034 contains new types of igneous rocks from Mars that were not represented by the SNC meteorites [1, 2, 3]. The new types may provide more information on magmatism on Mars. Here we investigate rare-earth element concentrations in common minerals in lithic clasts in NWA 7034 in order to further assess the characteris-tics of the magmatic sources.
