Scientific paper

The feldspathic fragmental breccia (FFB) 67015, from the rim of North Ray Crater, contains a wider range of clast lithologies than have previously been described for FFBs. The present petrological and chemical study reveals two components of major importance: a dark, vesicular, KREEP-rich melt rock of very high alumina basalt composition common at the Apollo 16 site, and a large clast of medium-grained ferroan anorthositic norite which composition falls among the most magnesian members of the ferroan anorthosite suite of pristine cumulate rocks. This latter material constitutes a previously missing member of certain mixing models, which were designed to account for the North Ray Crater melt rocks and bulk breccias.
