A general model for the textural evolution of lunar soil
Abstract
The investigation reported is concerned with the qualitative expansion of an earlier model developed by Lindsay (1971, 1972, 1973). Questions regarding the maturity of lunar soils are examined. A multivariate model related to textural maturity is considered, taking into account mean and standard deviations, the asymmetry of the grain size curve, the kurtosis anomaly, and pyroclastic materials. It is concluded that the mean grain size and the standard deviation of the lunar soil can be used as general indicators of the textural maturity of the soil anywhere on the lunar surface.
