Petrology of Apollo 16 poikilitic rocksThe petrology of 13 poikilitic rocks returned by Apollo 16 is described, and the mechanisms which likely participated in their formation are explained. The specimens include 11 rake samples from stations 1, 4, and 13 and the two large rocks 60315 and 65015. The poikilitic rocks are proposed to form by crystallization of an impact generated partial melt with over 70% liquid. The protolith consists of gas bearing polymict breccias and/or soil.
