The likelihood that the gabbroic and monomineralic fragments in the Luna-24 soils were excavated during the Fahrenheit cratering event can be assessed by considering the quantity, characteristics, and mode of deposition of Fahrenheit ejecta in the vicinity of the Luna-24 site. The original morphology of Fahrenheit's ejecta deposits is inferred by examining a fresh crater, Lichtenberg B, of a comparable site that formed in a similar type of target material. On the basis of this analogy, a probability of over 80% was calculated that the Luna-24 site was morphologically disturbed by the deposition of Fahrenheit ejecta. The relative abundance, gabbroic composition, and unshocked character of the holocrystalline fragments discovered in the Luna-24 core sample are consistent with the widespread occurrence of Fahrenheit deposits and the characteristics of Fahrenheit ejecta anticipated at the Luna-24 range.
