Location | collected, along with 15386, as part of a rake sample from the soil just inside the rim of Spur Crater, Apollo 15. |
Description | 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.
