The Luna-24 regolith sample is found to be fairly homogeneous with some variation in trace element abundances. The three main types of rocks in the core sample - gabbros, basalts and dolerites, and melanocratic gabbros - are low-titanium and low-alkali rocks, and the first two types are enriched in aluminum. The rocks are characterized by low abundances of some elements and by peculiarities of REE distribution. The data in conjunction with Luna-16 data indicate the existence of rocks enriched in aluminum in the area of contact of mare and continental crusts near the eastern edge of the visible side of the moon.
