M\u00e9t\u00e9orite martienne NWA 8656<\/h2>\n

La m\u00e9t\u00e9orite NWA 8656, tout comme la NWA 8657 qui est un autre fragment de la m\u00eame m\u00e9t\u00e9orite martienne, a \u00e9t\u00e9\u00a0d\u00e9couverte dans le Sahara Occidental en 2014 par des nomades<\/b>. Ces nomades connaissent tr\u00e8s bien ces terrains, aux sols clairs d\u00e9nud\u00e9s de v\u00e9g\u00e9tation, qu’ils prospectent en groupe \u00e0 la recherche de m\u00e9t\u00e9orites depuis des ann\u00e9es.<\/p>\n

La m\u00e9t\u00e9orite martienne NWA 8656 est une d\u00e9couverte de multiples pierres pour un poids total de plus de 1600 grammes<\/b>. Ces m\u00e9t\u00e9orites martiennes ont perdu la plupart de leur cro\u00fbte de fusion, apr\u00e8s leur long s\u00e9jour dans le d\u00e9sert, expos\u00e9es au vent de sable terriblement abrasif.<\/p>\n

A la coupe, l’int\u00e9rieur est grenu, gris verd\u00e2tre, la maskelynite bien visible sous la forme de grains translucides est tr\u00e8s pr\u00e9sente, on observe aussi ainsi des poches et des veines sombres de verre de fusion qui sont le r\u00e9sultat d’impacts sur la plan\u00e8te Mars et probablement\u00a0lors de l’impact qui a \u00e9ject\u00e9 cette roche de la surface de Mars<\/b>. La NWA 8656 est une m\u00e9t\u00e9orite martienne<\/a> du groupe des\u00a0shergottites<\/b> avec une texture dite diabasique. La roche est principalement constitu\u00e9e de cristaux de clinopyrox\u00e8nes et de maskelynite (plagioclases choqu\u00e9s). L’origine martienne de la m\u00e9t\u00e9orite a \u00e9t\u00e9 confirm\u00e9e par l’analyse des isotopes de l’oxyg\u00e8ne ainsi que par le rapport fer sur mangan\u00e8se (Fe\/Mn).<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
