Lunar Sample 68001

MissionApollo 16
Sample Typecore
Descriptionvery coarse grained; speculated that "the top of this zone may represent a buried topographic surface". However, this study was based on an interpretation of the Xradiograph, and was not confirmed by the study of the core after extrusion. Schwarz (1994) described the samples during dissection.
