| Summary: | Various papers on lunar studies, meteorites and cosmic dust, Mars, and tektites are presented. The topics discussed include: very high potassium basalt; complications in mare basalt petrogenesis; mare basalt genesis; modeling trace elements and isotopic ratios; Zr-Hf-Ta fractionation during lunar evolution; petrology of the Apollo 12 highland component; petrologic province maps of the lunar highlands derived from orbital geochemical data; petrology and chemistry of Apollo 12 regolith breccias; chemical variability and origin of agglutinitic glass; multistage exposure history of the 74261 soil constituents; and an experimental investigation of agglutinate melting mechanisms; shocked mixtures of sodium and potassium feldspars. Also addressed are: cooling history of some Antarctic ureilites; the Leoville accretionary breccia; ubiquitous brecciation after metamorphism in equilibrated ordinary chondrites; layer silicates in a chondritic porous interplanetary dust particle; estimates of rheological properties for flows on the Martian volcano Ascraeus Mons; the Martian dust storm of Sol 1742; and late Eocene North American microtektites and clinopyroxene-bearing spherules. |
