Abstract
We report volatile concentrations and hydrogen isotope compositions of impact melts and minerals in EETA 79001. We observed chemical changes in pyroxene, maskelynite (or feldspathic glass), and merrillite in contact with or inside impact melts. All pyroxene grains analyzed here are inside or close to impact melt pockets and contain 10–41 ppm H2O and enriched in D (δD=+1729 to +3707‰), with the highest values found in a grain enclosed in an...
