Carbonaceous chondrite NWA 1465 and eucrite NWA 4039 were investigated by confocal Raman microspectroscopy to identify the extraterrestrial minerals. Olivines, orthopyroxenes, clinopyroxenes, plagioclase, graphite, magnetite and troilite have been identified and characterized.
Ordinary chondrites DaG 610 and NWA 869, as well as graphite nodules from Canyon Diablo iron meteorites were investigated by confocal Raman microspectroscopy in order to identify extraterrestrial minerals. Olivines, orthopyroxenes (enstatite, bronzite and hyperstene), clinopyroxenes (pigeonite), plagioclase, troilite and various carbon phases, mainly graphite and diamond have been identified and characterized.
