Correlations among the trace and minor element pairs Cl and Br, Cl and P2O5, and Ru and Os, present in parent igneous rocks, generally survived the processes of boulder breccia formation. Fractions of Cl, Br, and Hg that are mobilized by water leaching or volatilization at moderate temperatures place constraints on the thermal history of Boulder 1 and its component breccias. Since, and possibly during, consolidation, the boulder has probably not been subjected to temperatures in excess of 450 C. The parent rocks of the Apollo 17 boulder and breccia samples studied could have been derived from two initial magmas. Vapor clouds from apparently external sources permeated the source regions of the boulders.
