Scientific paper

Dimict breccia 61015 consists dominantly of granulated anorthosite and impact melt rock of VHA (very-high-alumina)-basalt composition. The anorthosite is a typical Apollo 16 ferroan anorthosite, except that it is slightly more augite-rich than most other ferroan anorthosites. The breccia problably formed in the floor of an expanding crater cavity by the following process: Impact melt generated within the cavity was injected into underlying anorthositic bedrock and solidified rapidly, and the anorthosite and melt rock were then fragmented by deformation in the later stages of the impact.
