Abstract: | Luna 20 soil is remarkably similar to Apollo 16 soil, in its content of 17 mainly volatile or siderophile elements: Ag, Au, Bi, Br, Cd, Cs, Ge, In, Ir, Rb, Re, Sb, Se, Te, Tl, U, and Zn. Like other highland soils, it seems to contain an ancient meteoritic component of fractionated, volatile-poor composition. The bulk soil has a high ratio (9.4 × 10?2), similar to that in Apollo 16 soils (5.4 × 10?2), but higher than that in samples from other sites (1.1 × 10?2). It is severely contaminated with Ag, Cd, Re, and Sb, judging from a comparison with a 1.7 mg soil breccia sample from the coarse fraction of the soil. |
