Petrology of 79215 - Brecciation of a lunar cumulateThe paper considers the modal variation and bulk composition, the petrography, and the mineral chemistry of lunar sample 79215, a holocrystalline, nearly monomict breccia that is petrologically and chemically distinct from the majority of lunar highland breccias. The bulk composition of the rock and its REE abundances suggest that the precursor was a plagioclase-olivine cumulate.
