Scientific paper

QUE94281 is a new lunar meteorite breccia with abundant vesicular glass that seems to both coat and be injected through the breccia. Petrologic and geochemical analyses of a bulk sample (,22) and thin-section (,5) indicate the breccia is a mixture of glass spherules, agglutinate fragments, pyroxene fragments, olivine fragments, anorthositic clasts, and feldspathic impact melt breccia clasts. The compositions of these components and the composition of the bulk breccia indicate it has a mixture of mare and highland material, but that it is dominantly associated with a mare region of the Moon containing low-Ti and/or very-low-Ti basalts.
