Description | Sample 14064 was collected in the White Rocks area at Station C1 and was returned in bag 16 along with 14063 and 14065 (residue) in ALSRC 1006. There was a strong feeling at the LRL that 14064 and 14063 are parts of the same rock because not only do they look very much alike, but 14064 has a protruding 1 cm clast, while 14063 has a 1 cm clast mold. Shepard stated that he had put "a couple" of hand specimens into bag 16, which is what was found. Sample 14064 is one of those studied by the Imbrium Consortium. Sample is pale gray with leucocratic matrix and contains approximately 40% clasts and 60% matrix. The sample is friable "white rock". |
