Multielement Analysis of Lunar Soil and Rocks

Abstract

Results for multielement analysis of lunar soil and of seven rocks returned by Apollo 11 are presented. Sixty-six elements were determined with spark source mass spectrography and neutron activation. U. S. Geological Survey standard W-1 was used as a comparative standard. Results indicate an apparent uniformity of composition among the samples. Comparison with solar, meteoritic, and terrestrial abundances reveals depletion of volatile elements and enrichment of the rare earths titanium, zirconium, yttrium, and hafnium. Although there is an overall similarity of the lunar material to basaltic achondrites and basalts, the differences suggest detailed geochemical processes special to the history of this material.
