“…Millbillillie is a mixture of basaltic portions, granulitic breccias and impact melts (Yamaguchi et al 1994, Lauretta andKillgore 2005). SaU 008 is a highly shocked porphyritic basalt containing large olivine set in a groundmass consisting of pyroxene and maskelynite and also several veins and pockets of shock melt (Zipfel 2000). However, although Millbillillie and SaU 008 are rather heterogeneous meteorites, their HH-ED-XRF Fe/Mn ratio plots on the Vesta and Martian trend line, respectively ( Figure 5).…”

We evaluate the potential of a hand-held energy dispersive XRF spectrometer for the preliminary classification of non-chondritic differentiated meteorites. The studied achondrites include nine lunar meteorites, seventeen Martian meteorites, five angrites and eighteen meteorites from asteroid 4 Vesta. Analytical precision and accuracy was tested on thirty-nine terrestrial igneous rock slabs with a wide range of composition. Replicate analyses, performed on the studied meteorites, show that Fe/Mn values together with Si and Ca/K ratio can be used in the discrimination of different achondrite groups. Fusion crust's Fe/Mn values of meteorites from Vesta and Mars are indistinguishable from those of the interior implying that even measurements on the fusion-crusted external surface could be sufficient to pigeonhole non-chondritic meteorites. Hand-held energy dispersive XRF spectrometer is a non-destructive but very effective technique for preliminary classification of achondrites in the field and in laboratory and for the identification of mislabelled meteorites in museum collections
