The Term Eucrite
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 May 2009
Abstract
An account is given of the history of the term “eucrite”. It is shown to be very varied and hence has been a source of confusion to authors wishing to employ the word with precision, and to readers trying to understand its exact meaning. Because of the lack of agreement over the interpretation of this word, the author proposes that its use should be discontinued and the term “gabbro” utilized in its place.
