Elemental abundances of Apollo 16 samples
Abstract
Results are presented for the multielement analysis of samples of lunar soil (60501 and 64501), igneous rock (60315), and the light portion of breccia 60017. A mixing model for soil compositions has been proposed consisting of linear combinations of the KREEP basalt 60315 and the anorthositic gabbroic sample 60017. A comparison of trace elements in lunar soils from different missions indicates the marked depletion of the LIL elements in the Apollo 16 samples.
