Abstract
Among 3550 meteorite samples found near the Yamato Mountains area during the field season of 2000-2001, three meteorites, Yamato (Y) 000593, Y000749, and Y000802 of total weight of about 15 kg, are identified as new paired nakhlites. In ordered to improve our knowledge of the nakhlite parent body, possibly Mars, a coordinated consortium study of the Yamato nakhlites was organized. We here present an outline of the Yamato nakhlite consortium and implications for Martian geological history on the basis of ongoing studies.
