Apollo 15 regolith breccia provides first natural evidence for olivine incongruent melting
The Apollo 15 mission returned various samples of regolith breccias, typical lunar rocks lithified by impact events on the Moon’s surface. Here we report our observations on shock features recorded in a section of the Apollo Sample 15299. We observe the presence of ferropericlase crystals confined i...
