Scientific paper

We have analyzed the trace-element compositions of twenty-six greater than 1-mm igneous fragments from Apollo 12 soil 12001. Of these 26 fragments, 16 have been determined to be fine-grained basalts or impact melts and are presented here. We have identified five 'new' pristine ilmenite-basalts, two pristine pigeonite-basalts, one olivine-basalt, two ilmenite-basalt impact melts, two KREEPy basaltic impact melts, and four impact melts of mixed derivation.
