Detailed petrographic examination of 22 thin sections from the impregnated portion of the Apollo 16 double drive tube supports the findings of previous workers. A well-gardened unit exists at the top of 60010, indicated petrographically by an increase in agglutinates near the lunar surface. There is a coarse-grained anorthositic layer near the bottom of 60009. Few, if any, of the modal variations are stratigraphically correlatable with the deep drill core 60002-7, which was recovered 50 m southwest of drive tube 60009/60010.
