A Luna 20 basaltic fragment contains 70 per cent pyroxene, 25 per cent plagioclase (An 80 ) and 5 per cent ilmenite. There are two varieties of augite which differ markedly in their alumina content. The composition of this fragment, calculated from the analyses of the minerals, shows that the Al 2 O 3 / FeO ratio is different from that of other lunar basalts.
