Chemical and mineralogical analyses of the Martian meteorite ALH84001 have shown that it contains primarily orthopyroxene, which differentiates it from other Martian meteorites [1,2]. The secondary components augite, apatite, carbonate, chromite, clinopyroxene, iron oxides, maskelynite, olivine and pyrite have been identified as well [1,2,3,4]. Small quantities of organic material in the vicinity of carbonates and iron oxides have also been found in this meteorite [4]. Initial spectral analyses of ALH84001 focused on the dominant NIR absorptions near 1 and 2 µm, that are characteristic of pyroxene, and orthopyroxene (opx) in particular [5]. The mid-IR spectral features observed near 9.1, 11.4 and 20 µm are characteristic of the opx mineral hypersthene [5]. More detailed spectroscopic analyses of multiple chip surfaces and a particulate sample of ALH84001 are presented here. The IR spectra of the chip and powder samples exhibit features characteristic of several minerals. The 5-25 µm spectra of ALH84001 are especially difficult to interpret because of multiple mineral components and particle size variations. Methods. Reflectance spectra were measured of one small chip (~3X5X10 mm) of meteorite ALH84001. This chip was measured at 7 locations across the surface using a biconical FTIR spectrometer (beam ~1 mm dia) and at two locations from 0.3-2.5 µm using the bi-directional RELAB spectrometer (beam 3-4 mm dia). The chip was then ground to
