Lunar soil 15601 has been studied petrographically using grain size analysis, modal analysis, and electron probe microanalysis of monomineralic fragments in the 90-150-micron size fraction. The soil is immature; the grain size distribution is unimodal and very symmetrical, indicating that the soil is a homogeneous product of a single set of processes. It is concluded that 15601 is mostly a simple Apollo 15 mare basalt soil, and its properties can be used to approximate an end product of the array of complex soils that the lunar sample missions have returned.
