Hi Frank,
Great post. I thought it was the mesosiderites that were the troublesome
stony-irons. Now maybe the pallasites are slipping into ambiguity as
well.
Regarding your statement "Since they [troilite?] are not present, that
means
that possibly the magma was moved through the asteroid, incorporating
its self into already formed olivines."
I am wondering if the magma your speak of in this case is actually the
nickel-iron? If so, can the difference between the melting temperatures
of Ni-Fe, olivine, and troilite be used to speculate upon the
interaction of the minerals, or lack of interaction in the case of the
troilite?
Sincerely,
Martin
