Abstract
This thesis studies the shergottite family of martian meteorites using a variety of experiments performed on natural and synthetic samples. The study determines the crystallization conditions of the shergottites under both anhydrous and hydrous conditions as well as the saturation of phosphates under a variety of conditions. In addition, the liquid line of descent for the shergottites is determined and the major and minor element chemistry of shergottite magmas are compared with other martian meteorites to better constrain martian mantle evolution.
