| Description | clast-bearing impact-melt rock with a crystalline matrix made up of fine-grained intergrown pyroxene, plagioclase and ilmenite laths (figure 6). Prominent clasts include mineral fragments of plagioclase and pyroxene, along with lithic clasts of KREEP basalt, granite and quartz monzodiorite (QMD).
