Major element compositions of Luna 20 glass particles.

Major element analyses of nineteen Luna 20 glass particles indicate that most of the Luna 20 glasses have Al2O3 contents greater than 21 wt % and compositions similar to Apollo 16 and Luna 20 rocks and soils. Three of the glass particles have low Al2O3 (less than 13 wt %) and high FeO (greater than 18 wt %) contents and were probably derived from one of the adjacent maria. The low glass content of the Luna 20 soil indicates that it is relatively young or less mature than most mare soils that have been studied.
