Scientific paper

A FELDSPATHIC microbreccia from the Descartes region of the lunar highlands contains an unusual assemblage of pyroxene fragments. The numerous angular grains exhibit striking subsolidus exsolution textures that indicate a very advanced state of equilibration between the participating phases. Previous work on the subsolidus behaviour of lunar pyroxenes has been confined chiefly to submicroscopic exsolution. This required resolution by X-ray diffraction analysis which could not provide the specific major and minor element compositions of each phase.
