Textures and mineral chemistry (by INAA) of five lithic clasts, including both light green and light gray clasts, from feldspathic fragmental breccia 67975 were studied. The presence of five rock types was confirmed: feldspathic microporphyritic melt breccia, metamorphosed mafic-rich melt breccia with zoned and mantled clasts, 'typical' reequilibrated lunar feldspathic granulites with granoblastic texture and homogeneous mineral chemistry, hornfels, and a recrystallized mafic-rich granulite with relict igneous texture and the composition of a ferroan anorthositic norite. The mineralogy and textural data corroborate the grouping of the light green clasts proposed by Lindstrom (1984). However, the light gray clasts do not appear to be coherent in petrologic (or chemical) characteristics; one is a plagioclase-rich, possibly monomict rock with ferroan anorthositic precursor(s), and the other represents a mixture of feldspathic granulite and ferroan anorthositic norite lithologies.
