A detailed analysis of the textural and geochemical diversity of lunar meteorite Touat 005. Type specimens indicate a sample rich in anorthositic clasts and minor melt rock component, however, a newly acquired specimen may reveal increased heterogeneity in this meteorite

Context 1
... Two hand specimens of Touat 005 (UWO and DD, see Fig. 1) were analyzed via optical microscopy using an Olympus DSX-500 digital microscope at The University of Western Ontario Earth and Planetary Material Analysis Laboratory (henceforth referred to as EPMA Lab). The large-scale geochemistry was further analyzed via X-ray fluorescence at the EPMA Lab using a Bruker M4 Tornado micro-XRF with ...
Context 2
... XRF Variability: Touat 005 (UWO) is homogenous in hand specimen (Fig. 1), however, micro-XRF analysis reveals the presence of a large complex, brecciated clast (6 cm in longest dimension). This clast shows variability in Mg, Fe, Ti, and Cr relative to the rest of the sample, further confirmed through thin section EDS mapping (Fig. 2). Analysis via micro-XRF of Touat 005 (DD) will reveal whether this ...
