Description:
The paper presents measurements of the induced thermoluminescence properties and carbon contents of the dark matrix and light clasts of six regolith breccias. For all of the meteorites, the dark matrix has a lower mean thermoluminescence sensitivity than the light clasts; the extent of the difference depends on the meteorite. The data suggest the formation of the dark matrix by comminution of the light clasts with the addition of a component, perhaps CM-like chondrites, with thermoluminescence properties distinct from those of ordinary chondrites.
