Petrology of aphanitic lithologies in consortium breccia 73215.
Abstract
The paper describes the aphanitic rock that makes up the bulk of 73215, one of the six Apollo 17 samples classified as light-gray breccias. Emphasis is on studies of the fraction that originated as melt, the extent of clast-melt equilibration, the thermal history of the aggregate, and the genesis of the melt.
