Table
1
|
Modal abundance of minerals and glasses in finest size fractions of selected Apollo Mare soils. Maturity as
Is/FeO of the <250 mm fraction [Morris, 1978] is given directly after the soil number,
a value commonly used as the reference maturity for an entire soil. |
|
Table

|
Modal percentages of four sub-sets of pyroxenes in the finest size fractions of Apollo Mare soils. Maturity
as Is/FeO of the <250 mm fraction [Morris, 1978] is given directly after the soil
number, a value commonly used as the reference maturity for an entire soil. |

Table
3
|
Bulk chemistry and Is/FeO values of the finest size fractions of Apollo Mare soils. The chemistry was determined
by EMP analyses of fused beads of the soil. Values of Is/FeO are from FMR analyses. Maturity as Is/FeO of the <250
mm fraction [Morris, 1978] is given directly after the soil number, a value commonly
used as the reference maturity for an entire soil. |

Table
4
|
Average compositions of minerals and glasses in the finest size fractions of selected High-Ti mare soils. Maturity
as Is/FeO of the <250 mm fraction [Morris, 1978] is given directly after the soil
number, a value commonly used as the reference maturity for an entire soil. |
|
Table
5
|
Average compositions of agglutinitic glasses in Apollo Mare Soils. This designation effectively includes all
impact-produced glass, the majority (>90 %) of which is agglutinitic glass; these are combined because they
have similar compositions and both contain np-Fe. Maturity as Is/FeO of the <250 mm
fraction [Morris, 1978] is given directly after the soil number, a value commonly used as the reference maturity
for an entire soil. |
