DescriptionLunar samples 15665 and 15669 are rake samples from the edge of Hadley Rille in an area called The Terrace . They are similar to the rest of the olivine-normative basalt samples from this location, except, perhaps, they contains abundant Fe-rich pyroxene rather than fayalite in the residuum. The habit of ilmenite is also unusual. They have not been dated.
