2 Introduction CL and Raman spectroscopy were carried out on Dhofar 019 for origin of calcite. NASA

3 SNC : Martian meteorites Nakhlite Shergottite Chassignite Olivine bearing Basaltic Shergottite Augite, Pigeonite, Maskelynite Lherzolitic Shergottite Olivine, Pyroxene Shergottite 1865 India Shergotty Nakhlite 1911 Egypt Nakhla Chassignite 1815 France Chassgny Shergottite

4 Classification : Olivine bearing Basaltic Shergottite Constituent minerals : Pyroxene, Olivine, Maskelynite, merrillite and calcite Shock pressure : 30 GPa or more Formation age : ~ 500Ma Exposure age : ~ 15 million years Finding : Oman desert Weight : 1,056 g No fusion crust Photograph of Dhofar 019 Sample (Dhofar 019) Dhofar region

5 5mm Color CL images of Dhofar 019 Color CL image of Dhofar 019 : measured area Vein S L

6 measurement condition 15kv, 1.0nA CL spectra of calcite ( S and L ) S L BSE image of calcite (S, L) CL spectra of calcite (S and L)

7 BSE image of calcite (Vein) CL spectrum of calcite ( Vein ) Vein CL spectrum of calcite (Vein) measurement condition 15kv, 1.0nA

8 BSE image of calcite (Vein) CL spectra of calcite S L BSE image of calcite (S and L) Vein CL spectra of calcite in Dhofar019 and terrestrial calcite

9 Raman spectra of calcite Raman spectra of calcite in Dhofar019 and terrestrial calcite measurement condition light source : Ar-laser, 514.5nm power : 400 mW

10 Terrestrial (cm -1 ) 154 281 713 1087 1438 Vein (cm -1 ) 154 281 713 1087 1438 S (cm -1 ) 151 276 712 1086 --- L (cm -1 ) 143 266 712 1084 --- Raman peak shift of calcite Wave numbers of Raman peaks

11 Terrestrial (cm -1 ) 154 281 713 1087 1438 Vein (cm -1 ) 154 281 713 1087 1438 S (cm -1 ) 151 276 712 1086 --- L (cm -1 ) 143 266 712 1084 --- Raman peak shift of calcite Wave numbers of Raman peaks

12 Conclusion CL spectra Calcite in Dhofar 019 shows different spectra from terrestrial one. Raman spectra Calcite in Dhofar 019 show weaker Raman peak than terrestrial one. Calcite in Dhofar019 Martian origin

13 Thank you, very much.
