Scientific paper

Glass particles have been separated from the Bununu howardite microbreccia and analyzed with the electron microprobe. Preliminary scanning electron microscope (SEM) studies of the glass reveal fragments, spherules, teardrops, and rods: particles reminiscent of glasses recovered from the lunar surface. When plotted, individual glass analyses from both the Bununu and Malvern howardites range through the howardite group and extend into the eucrite group with the average glass compositions slightly enriched in CaO and depleted in MgO when compared with the bulk chemical analyses. Shock-produced features which have been observed in known terrestrial and lunar impact breccias are also present in Bununu.
