Relation of the spectroscopic reflectance of olivine to mineral chemistry and some remote sensing implications Relation of the spectroscopic reflectance of olivine to mineral chemistry and some remote sensing implications
Using high-resolution visible and near-infrared diffuse spectral reflectance, we have systematically investigated apparent wavelength shifts as a function of mineral chemistry in the Fe/Mg olivine series from Fo11 to Fo91. The study also shows that trace amounts of nickel can be spectrally detected in the olivine structure. We show that significant compositional information can only be...

The apollo 15 lunar samples: A preliminary description The apollo 15 lunar samples: A preliminary description
Samples returned from the Apollo 15 site consist of mare basalts and breccias with a variety of premare igneous rocks. The mare basalts are from at least two different lava flows. The bulk chemical compositions and textures of these rocks confirm the previous conclusion that the lunar maria consist of a series of extrusive volcanic rocks that are rich in iron and poor in sodium. The...
