Scientific paper

We have measured the induced thermoluminescence (TL) properties of seven lunar meteorites (three highland, four mare) in order to investigate their thermal and metamorphic histories. Most meteorites have TL sensitivities appropriate for their respective provenances, although shock has lowered the TL in two of the mare meteorites. The TL data indicate that all of our highland and mare meteorites contain a significant fraction of disordered feldspar, in contrast to Apollo highland soils, and more like Apollo highland impact melt rocks. The data suggest derivation of the lunar meteorites from a variety of depths in a melt sheet.
