Abstract

DCr augite/melt is approximately double that of DCr pigeonite/melt in synthetic Martian basaltic samples equilibrated at the same fO₂. This increase is not related to changing fO₂ and the valence of Cr, but rather to the increased availability of elements for coupled substitution with the Cr3+ ion, namely Na and Al. The availability of Al and Na to partition into pyroxene is due to delayed nucleation of plagioclase for the QUE 94201 Martian basalt composition. Direct valence state determination by XANES shows that Cr3+ is the dominant valence state in pyroxene at IW-1, IW, and IW+1. Trivalent Cr is apparently much more compatible in the pyroxene structure than divalent Cr, and thus an increasing DCr for both augite/melt and pigeonite/melt with increasing fO₂ is a function of the increased activity of Cr3+ in the crystallizing melt.
