Clast-laden nature and the origin of Luna 24 olivine-vitrophyresThe study shows that Luna 24 olivine-vitrophyric particles are actually fragments of clast-laden melt and are not from a very low titanium (VLT) mare basalt flow. Diversity of composition and clast population, and morphological similarity to ropy glasses suggest an impact melt origin. Compositionally, the olivine-vitrophyres resemble the high magnesian VLT basalts, which may have been the target and source of the impact melt.
