Scientific paper

A group of sixteen fine-grained fragments have been studied from the 2-10mm fraction of lunar soil 12001. Six of these basaltic rocks have textures indicative of quench crystallization and/or have definitive shock features and may be classified as clast-free impact melts. The ten remaining samples appear to be texturally pristine and seven of these are classified as ilmenite basalts. Two others have features typical of pigeonite basalts and a third is difficult to classify (neither olivine or pigeonite was observed). These "new" basalts add to our understanding of the diversity and genesis of volcanism at the Apollo 12 landing site.
