Petrography and mineral chemistry of Northeast Africa 053—A remnant of Martian crystal mush
Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.Abstract In Earth's igneous systems, crystal mushes, crystal‐rich frameworks permeated by silicate melt, represent a common and fundamental stage in the evolution of magma bodies. However, whether crystal mushes occur within Martian igneous systems and play a comparable role is unknown. Here, we present a comprehensive petrography and mineral chemistry
