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, 10 have been determined to be coarse-grained, presumably highlands rocks and are presented here. Many of these rocks appear to be more slowly cooled versions of mare basalts, possibly from within thick basaltic flows on the moon. However, true highlands cumulates do exist, and we have identified one rare peridotite, three primitive gabbros, and a relatively primitive ferrogabbro from among these samples.
