Lunar Sample 15290

MissionApollo 15
Lithologysoil
LocationCollected with fine grained breccia 15295 10 to 15 meters south of the LRV
DescriptionSoil 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.
