Devolatilized-Allende Partial Melts as an Analog for Primitive Angrite MagmasWe have shown that partial melts of devolatilized Allende chondrite (CV3) have bulk compositions generally similar to those of angrites. Here we show that the recently described D'Orbigny and Sahara 99555 angrites are virtually identical in major-element composition to specific Allende experimental melts from. This observation has petrogenetic significance for the origins of the angrite clan.
