Description | 15119 is an olivine-normative mare basalt with a microporphyritic texture. The phenocrysts are small, sparse, and yellow-green olivines. A regolith breccia adheres to the basalt, hence the basalt is actually a clast. The basalt is tough; the regolith breccia is friable and brownish-gray. Zap pits occur on the regolith breccia, and the basalt has a few vugs. |
