Definition of diogenite in English:

diogenite

noun dʌɪˈɒdʒənʌɪtdīˈäjəˌnīt

A stony meteorite of a kind consisting largely of pyroxenes and plagioclase.
Example sentencesExamples
- Unbrecciated diogenite that shows orthopyroxenes and chromite grains that are partially fragmented and deformed.
- This photo of a diogenite is magnified 40 times - exactly the same amount as the eucrite.
- This research represents a continuing effort to understand the petrogenesis of diogenites and their relationship to eucrites.
- Together, the howardites, the eucrites, and the diogenites form the most abundant class of achondrites in our collections.
- The Johnstown meteorite is classified as a calcium-poor diogenite, being composed mainly of hypersthene, with minor amounts of plagioclase and olivine.
- This analysis suggests that we have discovered the first polymict diogenite - a true scientific sensation.
- In addition, individual fragments of eucrites and diogenites are often found within the howardites.
- In order to preserve the observed zoning profiles, NWA 4215 clearly cooled significantly faster than other diogenites.
- The exception is a group of meteorites called howardites, eucrites, and diogenites (nicknamed HED meteorites).
- Howardites are polymict breccias composed of angular clasts of eucrites and diogenites welded together by pulverized mineral dust.
- The dark ‘shock’ lines are characteristic of this diogenite.
- Because diogenites have a coarse-grained texture with large interlocking crystals, however, they must have cooled more slowly than the eucrites.

Origin

Late 19th century: from Greek Diogenēs 'descended from Zeus' + -ite¹.
