Comparative magnetic studies of some Apollo 17 rocks and soils and their implicationsThe lunar rock and soil specimens studied include samples of the orange and gray soil strata from adjancent sites on the South rim of Shorty Crater, two vesicular mare basalts, and a mare basalt of the dense aphanitic type. The magnetic characteristics of the soils are discussed along with a hysteresis behavior analysis of Apollo 17 rocks. The remanent properties are examined, giving attention to viscous remanence, NRM stability, saturation isothermal remanence, and heating experiments.
