- Summary:
- Palagonite is defined as the poorly crystalline, hydrated and oxidized alteration product of basaltic glass. In addition, certain Palagonitic soils from Hawaii are particularly good spectral analogues of Martian bright regions. This implies that their ferric mineralogies of the Martian and Hawaiian regions may be similar. As a result, spectral, Mossbauer, static magnetic, petrographic, and some compositional data for a Hawaiian palagonitic soil is reported in this paper.
