Description:
Plagioclase in the slowly cooled lunar troctolite 76535 contains abundant rows of inclusions shown by transmission electron microscopy, electron diffraction, and X-ray energy analysis to consist mainly of augite, pigeonite, orthopyroxene, pores, and an unidentified phase which is preferentially thinned out during sample preparation. A minor inclusion is Ni-Fe metal. The pyroxenes are interpreted to have exsolved from plagioclase in the solid state.
