Lunar Sample Atlas
This library of images provides pictures of the Apollo samples taken in the Lunar Sample Laboratory, full-color views of the samples in microscopic thin-sections, cutting views and diagrams that illustrate how the samples were subdivided for scientific analyses, and in situ views of the samples on the lunar surface. The atlas contains information about the type of sample (e.g., rock, soil), the lithology (e.g., basalt, norite), and a description of the sample. Links to additional information about each sample are provided for those that have been previously described in The Lunar Sample Compendium and Lunar Sample Catalogs. Version 1 of the atlas was released in August 2009 and version 2 was released in July 2010. The process of scanning lunar sample images continues and the atlas will grow in the future.
A subset of this collection, the Apollo Thin Sections catalog, includes all samples for which thin-section views are available. Another subset, the Virtual Microscope catalog, provides interactive views of selected thin sections as they would be seen through a microscope. Another rich source of thin-section views by William Phinney (formerly with the NASA Johnson Space Center) and Howard Wilshire (formerly with the U.S. Geological Survey) is the Digital Petrographic Slide Collection, which is hosted by our colleagues at Arizona State University.

| 64001 | Apollo 16 | core | soil | Core drilled on Stone Mountain at Station 4, within one crater diameter of a 15 meter subdued doublet crater. The deep sections of the core may contain the best samples of typical Descartes material. The sample area has a 10-15 degree slope to the northwest. There are a few scattered cobbles 5-10 cm. Scattered craters .5 to several meters in diameter are common in the general area, there is a .5 meter crater just southwest of the drive tube. |

| 68001 | Apollo 16 | core | very 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. | |

| 70008 | Apollo 17 | core | soil | 70001-70009 are the segments of the deep core drilled at the ALSEP site 180 meters west of the LM. The sample area is flat, level and has 2-3% block cover. Craters 10 cm to 1 meter in size are common, fines are coherent below 3-4 cm. Drill penetration to 3.2 meters alternated between easy and difficult. The bottom 20 cm were very difficult to drill. The base material is cohesive, fragmental. |

| 74001 | Apollo 17 | core | soil | Drive tube 74001/74002 was collected at the south rim of 120 meter Shorty crater, at Station 4. The cored material is unusually compact. The core contains orange and red colored soil with nearly vertical contacts. The site is near the low place in the crater rim crest. The fragment population is viable. Craters up to several meters in diameter are scattered near the sample site. The core is almost entirely without coarse fines. |

| 79001 | Apollo 17 | core | soil | Double drive tube 79001/79002 was taken 2 meters from two 1 meter craters on the southeast flank of the Van Serg crater ejecta blanket, at Station 9. The site has a gentle slope to the southeast away from Van Serg crater. Fragments 2-20 cm cover 3% of the surface. Astronauts report that driving the first core was easy. The second one was a little tougher, and then it got very hard at the end. >1mm particles were hand picked and not sieved, where they would have broken down, so there is a discontinuity in the size distribution caused by the lab procesures. |

| 15074 | Apollo 15 | rake | ||
| 15100 | Apollo 15 | rake | soil | Sample was collected at the rake sample site 5m east of the large rock at Station 2. The mature fine grained regolith with a few scattered fragments up to about 10 cm in diameter is characteristic of the entire Station 2 area and presumably represents intensely gardened St. George ejecta to which some ejecta from impacts elsewhere in the Apennine Mountains and Imbrium basin have been added. This sample has not been studied. |
| 15115 | Apollo 15 | rake | basalt | 15115 is a relatively coarse basalt and was collected as a rake sample from station 2, Apollo 15.. |
| 15116 | Apollo 15 | rake | basalt | 15116 was collected as part of a rake sample from station 2, Apollo 15 (Swann et al. 1972). It is a coarse grained pyroxene-rich mare basalt and has not been dated. |
| 15117 | Apollo 15 | rake | basalt | Collected by rake as part of a comprehensive sample taken at station 2, Apollo 15 (near St. George Crater and the Hadley Rille); a coarse-grained pigeonite basalt similar to 15115 and 15116. It has been dated at 3.35 ± 0.04 b.y. |
| 15118 | Apollo 15 | rake | basalt | Lunar sample 15118 was collected by rake as part of a comprehensive sample; chemically it is a quartz-normative basalt with pyroxene phenocrysts set in a fine groundmass. It has not been dated. |
| 15119 | Apollo 15 | rake | basalt | 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. |
| 15125 | Apollo 15 | rake | basalt | It is a pyroxene-phyric basalt, with numerous skeletal pyroxenes and some olivine embedded in a dark, cryptocrystalline matrix (quench texture). The composition and texture of 15125 are similar to that of larger sample 15597. |
| 15145 | Apollo 15 | rake | breccia | Olivine-normative mare basalt breccia |
| 15300 | Apollo 15 | rake | soil | 15300 was collected at Spur crater at Station 7 to accompany the comprehensive rake sample; 15305 through 15308, and 15315 through 15312. The sample area has moderately abundant small fragments on and near the rim crest of Spur crater. |
| 15301 | Apollo 15 | rake | soil | part of a comprehensive sample collected at Spur Crater including rake sample 15310 and soils 15410, 15420 and pedestal 15431. The rim of Spur Crater had a significant number of small rock on the surface. This is the location of the Apollo 15 "green glass" and 15301 contained many beads of this interesting lunar material. |
| 15306 | Apollo 15 | rake | regolith breccia | |
| 15311 | Apollo 15 | rake | Soil sample 15310 was collected as part of a large rake sample and may contain material rubbed off of the friable rocks collected by the rake. On the other hand, it is certain to also contain some soil collected by the rake and/or attached to the rocks. In any case 15311 is a large soil sample that goes along with 15301 and it has about the same composition.. The fines from this sample have not been characterized. | |
| 15315 | Apollo 15 | rake | breccia | 15306 is a regolith breccia collected as part of a large soil (15300) and rake sample (15310) at Spur Crater. 15315, 15324, 15325 and 15330 are additional large soil breccias from the same rake sample, and there are many smaller fragments from the same sample (Butler 1972; Ryder and Sherman 1989). They all contain green glass spheres, distinctive of the soil and breccias samples at Spur Crater. |
| 15324 | Apollo 15 | rake | breccia | 15306 is a regolith breccia collected as part of a large soil (15300) and rake sample (15310) at Spur Crater. 15315, 15324, 15325 and 15330 are additional large soil breccias from the same rake sample, and there are many smaller fragments from the same sample (Butler 1972; Ryder and Sherman 1989). They all contain green glass spheres, distinctive of the soil and breccias samples at Spur Crater. |
| 15325 | Apollo 15 | rake | breccia | 15306 is a regolith breccia collected as part of a large soil (15300) and rake sample (15310) at Spur Crater. 15315, 15324, 15325 and 15330 are additional large soil breccias from the same rake sample, and there are many smaller fragments from the same sample (Butler 1972; Ryder and Sherman 1989). They all contain green glass spheres, distinctive of the soil and breccias samples at Spur Crater. |
| 15330 | Apollo 15 | rake | breccia | 15306 is a regolith breccia collected as part of a large soil (15300) and rake sample (15310) at Spur Crater. 15315, 15324, 15325 and 15330 are additional large soil breccias from the same rake sample, and there are many smaller fragments from the same sample (Butler 1972; Ryder and Sherman 1989). They all contain green glass spheres, distinctive of the soil and breccias samples at Spur Crater. |
| 15356 | Apollo 15 | rake | impact melt breccia | It is a very finegrained impact melt rock and has been dated at 3.84 b.y. (the apparent age of the Imbrium event). It should be compared with 15357 and 15359. |
| 15357 | Apollo 15 | rake | impact melt breccia | It has been dated at 3.85 b.y. and should be compared with 15356 and 15359. It may be a rare piece of the Imbrium melt sheet. |
| 15358 | Apollo 15 | rake | breccia | It is a glass-matrix breccia that contains clasts of KREEP basalt |
| 15359 | Apollo 15 | rake | impact melt breccia | It is a fine-grained mciropoikilitic impact melt with mineral clasts, and has a KREEP-like chemical composition. It has been dated at ~3.86 b.y. and should be compared with impact melt rocks 15356 and 15357. |
| 15362 | Apollo 15 | rake | It is a cataclastic ferroan anorthosite that proved difficult to date. It has an old exposure age (428 m.y.). | |
| 15380 | Apollo 15 | rake | basalt | finegrained mare basalt; Ryder (1985) finds that sample 15380 is very similar to 15379. It also has shock features and glass veins. Ryder (1985) states that: "15379 is a finegrained mare basalt containing about 20% stubbyangular and partly "hollow" plagioclase, abundant brownish pyroxene, and at least some olivine and ilmenite". Plagioclase is milky, but not maskelynite. Both plagioclase and pyroxene have deformed twinning. Veins of dark glass, containing bubbles, crosscut the sample and show evidence of flow. |
| 15382 | Apollo 15 | rake | basalt | pristine feldspathic basalt with high rare-earth-element content. Only a few pristine samples of this important rock type were returned from the moon, also including 15386 and fragments in 15434 and other Apollo 15 soils. These fragments were recognized as samples of chilled volcanic liquid and have been a source of much speculation |
| 15385 | Apollo 15 | rake | basalt | These small samples are found to have high Mg content, probably due to olivine accumulation (another “picritic basalt” from Apollo 15 is found as a large clast in breccia sample 15459). The formation of 15385 has been dated at 3.4 b.y. with exposure to cosmic rays for about 280 m.y. |

| 15658 | Apollo 15 | rake | basalt | Ryder (1985) provides the only description: "15658 is a medium-grained, olivine-bearing basalt. Pigeonites range from 1 to 2 mm long and are twinned and zoned. Most plagioclases for stubby crystals up to about 1 mm, some of which are hollow. Some radial growth of plagioclase and pyroxene is present. Olivine forms scattered anhedral phenocrysts, and smaller grains are present, many as inclusions in pigeonite. Cristobalite, fayalite, and a range of opaque phases are present." No mode is given. |

| 14064 | Apollo 14 | rock | breccia | 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". |
| 14066 | Apollo 14 | rock | breccia | Sample 14066 was collected at Station F on the second EVA. The sample was found in the vicinity of Weird Crater. Sample was returned in documented bay 17N in ALSRC 1006. It is essentally a grab sample and is moderately friable with a blocky subround to subangular surface. It is very light gray in color with some large, darker gray clasts. |
| 14068 | Apollo 14 | rock | breccia | Sample 14068 was collected during the second EVA from station C1 and placed in bag number 10.

| 14069 | Apollo 14 | rock | breccia | Sample 14069 was collected at Station C1, 1.28 km ENE of the LM and 100 m SE of the rim of Cone Crater during the second EVA. The material at C1 appears to be material originally ejected from Cone Crater and re-ejected from a 30 m crater just south of Station C1 (Swann et al., 1977). Sample is block, gray, finely crystalline breccia with a sugary texture. |
| 14070 | Apollo 14 | rock | breccia | Sample 14070 was collected from Station C1, 1.28 km ENE of the LM, and 100 m SE of the rim of Cone Crater during the second EVA. It appears to have been ejected from Cone Crater that was later re-ejected from a 30 m crater in the vicinity (Swann et. al., 1977). This is a blocky, subangular, coherent, light gray, crystalline breccia that is similar to 14069. |
| 14072 | Apollo 14 | rock | basalt | Sample 14072 was collected at Station C1 approximately 1.28 km ENE of LM and 100 m SE of Cone Crater. The area is locally flat but generally slopes slightly to the south. The area is strewn with debris which ranges in size from the limit of resoution up to 75 cm. The debris is mainly angular to subrounded. The entire area of photo documentation is too disturbed to see any intact craters. The sample was returned in documented bag 10N in ALSRC 1006.

| 14082 | Apollo 14 | rock | breccia | Samples 14082/14083 are white rocks collected at Station C1, 1.24 km ENE of the LM and 17 m SE of the rim of Cone Crater. They are representative of one of the major rock types as seen in lunar photo documentation. The sample was chipped from the top of White Rock, a 1 m breccia boulder with consipicous 1 cm dark and light clasts in a very light gray matrix. This sample was placed in bag 13N and returned in ALSRC 1006. By the time it had arrived at the LRL, it had broken into two pieces and these were numbered 14082 and 14083.

It was placed in documented bag 27N. Its lunar location and orientation are well documented. This is a medium light gray, coherent, fragmental breccia with a distrinctive shape due to a prominent notch produced by spalling along two sets of fractures intersecting at an angle of 150 degrees. |
| 14314 | Apollo 14 | rock | breccia | Sample 14314 is a breccia sample collected during the second EVA at Station H. It was collected from the fillet below Turtle Rock, 80 meters NW of the LM. The fillet slopes 2-3 degrees to the flat regolith and has abundant rocks up to 30 cm in size distributed in it. The rock is a friable breccia, medium to light gray on its fresh surface and dark brownish gray elsewhere. Approximately 40% of the surface is glass covered. |
| 14316 | Apollo 14 | rock | breccia | Sample 14316 is a breccia collected at Station H during EVA 2. It has not been identified in lunar surface photographs, so its exact lunar location and orientation are unknown. It was returned in weigh bag 1038. This rock is a medium gray, inhomogeneous, fragmental breccia with one flat face. There is a predominance of leucocratic clasts. |
| 14317 | Apollo 14 | rock | breccia | Breccia sample 14317 was collected at Station H during the second EVA but has not been identified in the North Boulder Field photographs, so its lunar location is tentative, and lunar orientation, unknown. It was returned in weigh bag 1038. This rock is a medium gray, coherent breccia. |
| 14318 | Apollo 14 | rock | breccia | Breccia sample 14318 was collected from the regolith near the south end of North Boulder Field at Station H during the second EVA. It was returned in weigh bag 1038. Sample 14318 is one of the specimens chosen for study by the Imbrium Consortium, who received 14318,0. A complete set of matched thin sections, across the entire specimen was made by the Consortium (1976); This sample is a very coherent, gray, polymict breccia consisting of light gray clasts in a medium gray matrix. |
| 14319 | Apollo 14 | rock | breccia | Breccia sample 14319 is the western rock from the top of Turtle Rock ("turtle eggs"). This sample as well as 14312 were collected from Turtle Rock at Station H during the second EVA and returned in weigh bag 1038. Its lunar orientation and location have been well documented. It appears to be similar to Turtle Rock and the other rocks in the area. This is alight-medium gray coherent breccia which is flat on one side and rounded on the other side. |
| 14321 | Apollo 14 | rock | breccia | largest sample returned during Apollo 14 mission; also known as "Big Bertha". This sample is the third largest sample returned by any Apollo mission. This breccia was collected during the second EVA at Station C1, near the rim of Cone Crater. A voice transcript made during the collection, as well as a more detailed discussion of the lunar environment can be found in Geological Survey Professional Paper 880 (Swann et al., 1977). The sample was returned in bag 1038. This large sample is typical of the apparently dominent rock type in the Cone Crater ejecta blanket. It is a moderately well-indurated breccia, in which predominately dark clasts are set in a lighter matrix. The relative abundance of this rock type suggests that it is probalby representative of the Fra Mauro Formation. This rock, 14321, is a partly annealed, moderately coherent polymict breccia. The blocky surface is gray with patches of black and white. |

| 10084 | Apollo 11 | soil-general | The contingency sample was taken in front of quad IV of the LM. The documented sample was collected 5 meters north of the LM, the bulk sample was collected in front of quad IV by pouring scoops of loose soil to fill the voids left between rock samples in the bulk sample container. 10084 is the bulk soil sample. Soil is fine grained and hard in this sample area. There are few fragments and it is difficult to scoop deeper than 5 cm below the surface. | |
| 12001 | Apollo 12 | soil-general | 12001 is <1 cm fraction of bulk regolith collected about 30 meters northwest of the LM on the first EVA traverse. Astronaut Conrad saw several beads of pure glass while collecting this sample. Fryxell reports that the fines are weakly coherent; they adhere to rocks and do not slump when the sample holder is tipped 45 degrees. | |
| 12032 | Apollo 12 | soil-general | Surface soil 12032, along with several rocks were collected from the north rim of Bench crater. It includes some light gray material from just below the surace. Soil collected with "potato" rock 12053. | |
| 12033 | Apollo 12 | soil-general | Trench sample 12033 was collected 15 cm below the surface, 15 meters from the northwest rim of Head Crater near 12031. The trench bottom is lighter in color than the surface materials. Astronauts noticed more large blocks on the west side of Bench crater than on the east. | |
| 12041 | Apollo 12 | soil-general | Soil sample collected about 50 m east of the rim of Bench crater. Sample consists mostly of ine particles but includes a 6.4 mm glass sphere. | |
| 12044 | Apollo 12 | soil-general | Soil 12044 and rock 12043 were collected from the south rim of Surveyor crater. Astronauts observed a prominent double glass bead on the surface. | |
| 14056 | Apollo 14 | soil-general | breccia | Sample 14056 was collected from station E during the second EVA. It was returned in bag 15N along with samples 14055-14062; sample is extremely friable and appears to be coherent soil clod, medium brownish in color. |
| 14141 | Apollo 14 | soil-general | soil | Samples 14140, 14141, 14142, 14143, 14144 and 14068, 14069, 14070, 14071, and 14072 were collected 3 meters from the rim of a 15 meter crater just south of Cone crater. 14141 is a surface soil identified by crew as a light gray layer, 14068 through 14072 is a sample of some surface rocks in the area. The area near the rim of Cone crater is strewn with boulders up to 3 meters. |
| 15014 | Apollo 15 | soil-general | 15014 was placed in a special environmental sample container (SESC) which has remained unopened to date (2010). | |
| 15025 | Apollo 15 | soil-general | breccia | 15025 was included in the collection of the contingency sample for Apollo 15. It is a typical soil breccia. |
| 15030 | Apollo 15 | soil-general | At Station 8, Astronaut Irwin dug the deep trench; samples 15030 through 15034 were taken from the bottom of the trench. The trench area is similar to the area near the ALSEP, a smooth, hummocky surface of fine grained material with rare, cobble sized fragments not visibly related to any particular crater. The trench wall was described by the astronauts as uniform, with perhaps a slight color darkening in the middle part, above a hard layer which was not penetrated, but just reached at a depth of about 35 cm. | |
| 15040 | Apollo 15 | soil-general | At Station 8 Astronaut Irwin dug the deep trench; samples 15040 through 15044 were taken from the tope of the trench. The trench area is similar to the area near the ALSEP, a smooth, hummocky surface of fine grained material with rare, cobble sized fragments not visibly related to any particular crater. The trench wall was described by the astronauts as uniform, with perhaps a slight color darkening in the middle part, above a hard layer which was not penetrated, but just reached at a depth of about 35 cm. One small fresh crater occurs a few meters north of the trench, but it is too distant to add a significant layer of ejecta to the top of the trench area. | |
| 15245 | Apollo 15 | soil-general | regolith breccia | Samples 15240 through 15245 and 15250 through 15255 were collected from the floor and rim respectively of a 1m crater 20m upslope of the LRV at Station 6. The crew described the crater as a "fresh little crater" and noted a concentration of clods up to 10 cm on an otherwise smooth, fine grained surface. Approximately half of the sample collected here are pieces of glassy breccia >1cm not included as part of the soil (15245). There are only a few fragments >1cm in the area surrounding the crater, and all other craters in the area are subdued. The general slope of the area dips 10 degrees to the north. |
| 15425 | Apollo 15 | soil-general | breccia | The green glass clods (15425, 15426 and 15427) are partially light-greenish-gray and partly grayish-brown - it is the greener parts that have been studied. |
| 15426 | Apollo 15 | soil-general | breccia | The green glass clods (15425, 15426 and 15427) are partially light-greenish-gray and partly grayish-brown - it is the greener parts that have been studied. |

| 15059 | Apollo 15 | regolith breccia | Ryder (1985) described 15059 as a "tough regolith breccia containing mare basalt and KREEP basalt and abundant glass, in a glassy matrix. A thin very vesicular glass coat covers most of the sample and intrudes it along fractures." | |
| 15065 | Apollo 15 | basalt | 15065 is a coarse-grained mare basalt that is about 3.35 b.y. old. | |
| 15070 | Apollo 15 | soil | Soil 15070, rock sample 15075, and rock sample 15076 were taken from a small area about 25 m east of the rim of Elbow crater at Station 1. The samples were taken as the middle part of a three part radial sample of the ejecta blanket of Elbow crater. The soil and two rock samples were placed in the same sample bag. | |

| 15075 | Apollo 15 | basalt | 15075 was one of several basalt samples collected as a radial sample near the rim of Elbow Crater (15065 through 15085). They all appear to be similar (Ryder 1985) . 15077 is interpreted as a "sister" sample to 15076. | |
| 15076 | Apollo 15 | basalt | 15076 is a coarse-grained, porphyritic pigeonite basalt with subophitic matrix. It has been dated at 3.35 b.y. and has been exposed on the lunar surface for ~300 m.y. (Elbow Crater ?). The top surface is rounded with numerous micrometeorite craters. | |

| 15085 | Apollo 15 | basalt | It is one of the samples collected as a suite, from different distances from a small crater (15065 to 15085). It is a is about 3.4 b.y. old and is coarse-grained, quartz-normative mare basalt (catalog reports 5 mm) dominated by pigeonite. | |
| 15086 | Apollo 15 | regolith breccia | Soil 15080 and two cobble-sized rocks, 15085 and 15086, were collected at Station 1 about 65 m east of the Elbow crater ejecta rim. This collection was the farthest from the rim of the three part radial sample of ejecta blanket. In the local area of this sample, the general ejecta blanket appears smooth with scattered cobble sized rocks. A chip from friable breccia 15086 was put through freeze-thaw cycling and ultrasonic vibration to disaggregate, then sieved. | |

| 15088 | Apollo 15 | |||
| 15090 | Apollo 15 | soil | Samples 15090 through 15093 and 15095 were collected near a large boulder at Station 2. The regolith is notable for its fine texture. Coherent fragments larger than a centimeter in diameter are scattered, and none larger than 10 cm in diameter occur within the immediate sample locality. The soil can be assumed representative of the mature, well gardened regolith composed of St. George crater ejecta plus whatever exotic components have been admixed since the St. George impact. | |
| 15091 | Apollo 15 | soil | 15091 is a surface soil and should be compared with the top of the double drive tube 15008 collected nearby. | |

| 15200 | Apollo 15 | soil | Soil 15200 and fragments 15201 through 15206 were broken from the 1 m boulder at Station 2. The boulder appears to be an ejecta fragment from a relatively recent impact of another site. The boulder may have impacted at a low angle and rolled uphill onto the rim of its own secondary crater. Sample area is generally flat and free of fragments. Carrier notes that this is an unrepresenative collection of rock chips and loose soils found at the bootm of a sample bag. | |
| 15201 | Apollo 15 | soil | These soil were collected adjacent to the small boulder at station 2, Apollo 15. 15205 and 15206 were chipped off of the boulder and when 15205 was picked up, some soil (19201) was placed in same bag. !5211 was collected as a “fillet” sample of the boulder | |

| 15205 | Apollo 15 | breccia | 15205 is noteworthy in that it contains a high percentage of KREEP basalt fragments as clasts, but also contains fragments of the mafic green glass, and mare basalt found in the Apollo 15 regolith. 15205 has not been dated, but it has an exposure age of 169 m.y. It has a thin coating of vesicular glass on most surfaces, such that it must have broke free from the boulder along an interior glass vein. Micormeteorite carters on an exposed surface have been carefully studied. | |
| 15206 | Apollo 15 | impact melt breccia | It is a vesicular glassy breccia containing KREEP basalt and mare basalt clasts. Unlike 15205 the clasts are shocked and penetrated by glass and there is a higher proportion of matrix (figure 3). It is an impact melt rock, that was probably generated from a regolith.

Samples 15210 through 15214 lie on the south crater rim. 15210, 15220, and 15230 are all representative of the fine grained upper part of the regolith at Station 2. Except for the large boulder itself, the immediate sample area is underlain by sub-centimeter fines with a few scattered consolidated fragments no larger than 10 cm in diameter. | |

The crew described the crater as a "fresh little crater" and noted a concentration of clods up to 10 cm on an otherwise smooth, fine grained surface. Approximately half of the sample collected here are pieces of glassy breccia >1cm not included as part of the soil (15245). There are only a few fragments >1cm in the area surrounding the crater, and all other craters in the area are subdued. The general slope of the area dips 10 degrees to the north. | |

| 15250 | Apollo 15 | soil | Sample collected from the east rim of a 1m crater approximately 20 m southeast and upslope from the LRV at Station 6. The crater is marked by a concentration of fragments, primarily clods up to 10 cm in diameter, on an otherwise smooth, finely granular surface. It was described by the crew as a "fresh little crater" and it is superposed on the south wall of a subdued 3 m crater which has no visible ejecta material around it. Sample 15240 is collected from the floor of the same 1 m crater. | |

| 15257 | Apollo 15 | breccia | These two samples were returned in a bag that also contained a large basalt (15256). They both contain a thin vesicular glass splash on one side. 15257 is clearly part of 15255 that broke off of during transport. This sample was collected at station 6 on the Apennine Front 15255 and 15257 are a coherent breccia with inegrained dark matrix.

| 15260 | Apollo 15 | soil | Rock sample 15012 and soil 15260 were collected from the bottom of a trench dug into the south rim of a 12 meter diameter crater 10-15 meters downslope from the LRV at Station 6. Sample 15012 was also collected at the bottom of this trench and placed in a Special Environmental Sample Container. The surface where the trench was dug is littered with fragments ranging from .5 - 2 cm size, but distinctly fewer than on the north rim of the same crater. This may have prompted the astronaut's remarks that the south rim was softer and the north rim more granular. | |

The adjacent undisturbed soil surface appears to be typical of the coarsely granular texture at Station 6. The immediate vicinity is 5-7% covered by centimeter size clods, and is lacking in fresh craters or coherent looking rock fragments. | |

| 15285 | Apollo 15 | regolith breccia | Samples 15285 through 15288 (and 15268) were all collected from the rim of a small crater at station 6 and returned in the same bag. They are breccia fragments from the same location as 15265. Consist of all components of the soils in a fragmental, perhaps partly glassy matrix and contains, besides ophitic and intersertal basalts, plagioclase breccias, troctolites, noritic fragments, glass and individual mineral grains. | |
| 15286 | Apollo 15 | breccia | It is a coherent glassmatrix soil breccia, similar to other samples collected at same time. Ryder (1985) even suggests that 15286 may be spalled from 15265-15267, but that seems impossible because glass wraps around the particle. | |
| 15287 | Apollo 15 | breccia | a coherent regolith breccia with zap pits on one side. It is porous, with abundant glass particles including green glass. Lithic clasts include mare basalt and KREEP basalt. | |
| 15288 | Apollo 15 | breccia | Lunar breccias 15288 and 15289 were collected from the rim of a small crater at station 6 on the Apennine Front - along with 15265, 15285 and 15286. All of these samples are similar regolith breccias. They are relatively coherent with glass-cemented matrix. | |
| 15289 | Apollo 15 | regolith breccia | Lunar breccias 15288 and 15289 were collected from the rim of a small crater at station 6 on the Apennine Front - along with 15265, 15285 and 15286. All of these samples are similar regolith breccias. They are relatively coherent with glass-cemented matrix. | |
| 15290 | Apollo 15 | soil | Soil sample 15290 was collected with fine grained breccia 15295 10 to 15 meters south of the LRV. Soil 15290 includes soil from the immediate area and possible some fragments from 15295 which may have disintegrated in transit and handling into additional fines. This comminution of the breccia enriches the large size fractions of this soil and degrades the pristinity of the grain size distribution. | |

It was distinctive because of its large size and angularity, and because it had a fillet on its uphill side. It is medium light gray, tough, and penetrated with glass. It has a few zap pits on some surfaces. | |

One side is shiny; the other dusty. The sample is broken slightly, revealing its hollowness, and at least where it is broken the walls are thin. It has never been processed or allocated. It was observed by the astronauts on the lunar surface and put in the container with soil". | |

Plagioclase is milky, but not maskelynite. Both plagioclase and pyroxene have deformed twinning. Veins of dark glass, containing bubbles, crosscut the sample and show evidence of flow. Ryder (1985) finds that sample 15380 is very similar to 15379. It also has shock features and glass veins. | |

| 15386 | Apollo 15 | basalt | 15386 is the largest sample of pristine KREEP basalt in the collection. By pristine we mean that it is lacking in meteoritical siderophiles (Ir, Re, Au etc), and hence not contaminated by meteorite debris. Thus it is thought to represent an indogenous lunar volcanic melt derived from the lunar interior (see discussion in 15382). | |
| 15387 | Apollo 15 | basalt | These small samples are found to have high Mg content, probably due to olivine accumulation (another "picritic basalt" from Apollo 15 is found as a large clast in breccia sample 15459). The formation of 15385 has been dated at 3.4 b.y. with exposure to cosmic rays for about 280 m.y. | |

Relatively few fragments occur in the vicinity of the rock. Most are angular and lie on the fillet, but sparse fragments are found with random distribution in all directions. The samples are probably representative of the boulder and its disintegration products which may typify the composition of its fillet. | |
