Petrographic Characteristics of Quartz in Suevitic Impact Breccia, Drillcore

Introduction: Individual grains and small lithic clasts in thin-sectioned suevitic breccia samples from the International Continental Scientific Drilling Program (ICDP) Bosumtwi impact crater drillcore LB07A were examined petrographically to evaluate the occurrence , abundance, and characteristics of unshocked and shock-metamorphosed quartz. The analyzed samples were taken across a ~42-m-long (...

Petrography and Mineralogy of Dhofar 1428 Lunar Highland Regolith Breccia

Introduction: Dhofar 1428 is a lunar feldspathic breccia found in 2006. Bunch et al. [1] briefly described mineral chemistry of Dhofar 1428. Korotev and Zeigler [2] analyzed its bulk FeO and Sm compositions. Here, we report such detailed data for Dhofar 1428. Results and Discussion: Dhofar 1428 has a distinct breccia texture with numerous fragments of rock, mineral, and glass all welded by a gl...
