The first person who can correctly identify the mineral marked in the
following micrograph will win US$10,000 from me. The winner should
specify the correct name of the mineral and supply a credible
micrograph to support his/her identification . The winner’s
micrograph
must be labelled with the size and the crystals of the mineral.

Â*I sent some shots to Dr. Irving and he was so cool! He took the time to
Â*provide an explanation of this glass. This is what he wrote.

Â*"The clear glass is maskelynite, which is produced by shock transformation
Â*of plagioclase (labradorite) during ejection of most Martian meteorites
Â*(except nakhlites). It's called a diaplectic glass, and is formed not by
Â*melting but by shock distortion of the feldspar crystal structure to the
Â*point where it becomes amorphous and amazingly clear (limpid like distilled
Â*water). Thus it will not have any vesicles (just tiny inclusions of pigeonite,
Â*phosphates, oxides, etc. that were originally inside the plagioclase on Mars).
Â*However, elsewhere in the thin section there could be some cross-cutting dark,
Â*glassy shock veins that do contain vesicles (of trapped Martian air, which in
Â*other shergottites is the proof of Martian origin for all such rocks).

Please pay Dr Irving $10,000.- éš±è—�被引用文å*— -

Dr. Irving was talking about glass area of the Martian thin section,
not about the area I marked.
