Book Description

Papers are presented concerning studies of lunar basalts, highland rocks, and meteorites. Specific topics include the petrology and chemistry of basaltic fragments from Apollo 11 soil; the composition, magma types and petrogenesis of Apollo 17 high-Ti mare basalts; the chemistry and probable origin of Apollo 15 green glass; experimental studies of the partitioning of nickel and chromium into olivine from synthetic basaltic melts; the petrology and geochemistry of pristine highland rocks; the argon isotope age systematics of consortium breccia 73255; magnetite-sulfide-metal complexes in the Allende meteorite; the fractionation of refractory lithophile elements in chondritic meteorites; and the origin and relation to enstatite chondrites of aubrites.
