Lunar 'dunite', 'pyroxenite' and 'anorthosite.'
Abstract
Photomicrographic study of 200 thin sections of Apollo 14 rock samples suggests that these monomineralic aggregates are recrystallized single-mineral grains. It is contended, therefore, that the source rocks are not properly characterized by igneous rock names, being more moderately coarse-grained gabbroic rather than ultramafic rocks.
