In 1972, the Apollo 17 mission landed in the Taurus-Littrow Valley located in the southeastern edge of Mare Serenitatis [1].During EVA 2at Station 3,a double drive tube was used to collect a sealed core sample (73001/2)of the upper~70cm of the lunar regolith[2-4].The core was taken from the surface of the light mantle deposit, found at the base of the South Massif [3]. For nearly 50 years, the sealed core samples have remained unopened. This study is part of the Apollo Next Generation Sample Analysis (ANGSA) initiative to analyze the continuous thin sections from the Apollo 17 drive tubes opened in 2019[5-7].
