| 内容記述 | Ferromagnetic resonance intensity, I(s), relies on the absence or presence of single-domain Fe formed during impact melting by autoreduction of Fe(2+) in the melt to distinguish volcanic from impact glass spherules in the lunar soil. SEM inspection of individual glass bead surfaces gave reliable evidence of the mode of glass genesis. Ferromagnetic resonance intensity was tested against the Apollo 15 and 17 volcanics. I(s) values of less than one were found in 94% of the volcanic glasses, implying the absence of single-domain Fe, while 75% of the impact glasses had elevated I(s) values. These samples lack single-domain Fe, and may represent impact melts of bedrock with little or no regolith contribution. Both the primary discrimination of volcanic and impact glasses, and the secondary one of bedrock-derived impact melts from impact melts partially or entirely derived from regolith, have been demonstrated for the I(s) technique. |
