Petrology of ALHA81005, the first lunar meteorite
Geophysical Research Letters, 1983 Petrography and mineral compositions show that ALHA81005 is a lunar highland regolith breccia and is the first known lunar meteorite. Lithic clasts are abundant and most are members of the anorthosite‐norite‐troctolite highland suite. Plagioclase compositions in lithic clasts and single grains are calcic (An94‐98).

Petrologic Characteristics of the Lunar Surface [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2015 AbstractPetrologic analysis of the lunar surface is critical for determining lunar formation and evolution. Here, we report the first global petrologic map that includes the five most important lunar lithological units: the Ferroan Anorthositic (FAN) Unit, the Magnesian Suite (MS) Unit, the Alkali Suite (AS) Unit, the KREEP Basalt (KB) Unit and the ...

Mineralogy, petrology, and geochemistry of the lunar samples [PDF]
Eos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 1971 On July 24, 1969, the first extraterrestrial samples, with the exception of meteorites, were returned to earth by Apollo 11. Since then these samples and the samples returned by Apollo 12 have been subjected to scientific investigations by hundreds of scientists from many countries.

Paired lunar meteorites MAC88104 and MAC88105: A new “fan” of lunar petrology
Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta, 1991 To determine the chemical characteristics of the MAC88104/5 meteorite six thin sections and three bulk samples were analyzed by electron microprobe and instrumental neutron activation. It is concluded that this meteorite is dominated by lithologies of the ferroan anorthosite suite and contains abundant granulitized highland clasts, devitrified glass ...

The Geology of the Moon: Geochemistry and Petrology of Lunar Basalts [PDF]
, 2010 The aim of this research is to determine any genetic relationships between high- and lowTi lunar basalts in terms of petrology, mineralogy, geochemistry and geochronology, using a set of Apollo samples. SEM images, mineral compositions, and major- and trace-element data indicate that the high and low-Ti mare-basalts form two distinct groups, both ...

Meteorite ALHA81005: Petrology of a new lunar highland sample
Geophysical Research Letters, 1983 Meteorite ALHA81005 is a shock‐compacted lunar highland regolith breccia. Besides glasses (fragments, spherules, matrix glass), chondrules (of ANT composition), and mineral fragments this new lunar sample contains principally three lithologies: 1) A pristine ferroan anorthosite suite consisting of anorthosites, norites, and one plagioclase peridotite ...
