Particle track densities in the Luna 24 core

We report track density measurements in soil grains at six locations in the Luna 24 core. Irradiation levels are generally high precluding information on the depositional history, but indicating that the soils were exposed at the lunar surface at sometime in the past. Maturity levels determined from track density parameters disagree with those determined from ferromagnetic resonance and agglutinate contents. This discrepancy is not understood, but it could possibly indicate an ancient epoch of increased solar-flare activity.
