Scientific paper

Agglutinates are the principal constructional, i.e., authigenic products of space weathering on the moon and possibly on other atmosphere-free planetary bodies. Production of agglutinates is accompanied by production of new phases such as glass, fine-grained Fe0, possibly Fe-Ni metal, and some chemical fractionation including partial loss of volatile components. Thus, the concentration of agglutinates affects remotely sensed properties of planetary surfaces. Agglutinates also serve as recorders of lunar soil evolution and presence or absence of critical clast-types may provide some stratigraphic datum.
