Abstract

Scanning electron microscope backscatter electron image of a small magnetite‐bearing brecciated rock fragment located in Apollo 16 regolith breccia sample 60016, as discussed in Joy et al. (pp. 1157–1172). The identifi cation of magnetite in a lunar sample provides direct evidence for oxidized conditions on the Moon. The lower color image shows the location of different mineral phases in the sample noted in the color scale at left (black areas represent pores, fractures, or phases that cannot be identifi ed).
