BSE image of a polished thick section EET 87720,41 containing an igneous‐textured granitic clast, prepared from an interior chip of a polymict ureilite EET 87720. The clast is not indigenous to the ureilite parent body, but it provides evidence for the formation of evolved melts on an unknown parent body (a volatile‐rich parent body perhaps resembling early Mars) in the early solar system. The scale bar size is 1 mm. Andrew Beard et al.describe the clast in detail in their paper on pp. 1613–1623. (Image courtesy of A. Beard).
