Experiments have been conducted on several Apollo 12 and 14 samples that confirm the identification of CH4 and C2H6 in lunar fines and breccias. In particular, data for various size fractions of sample 14240,5 are reported which show that the concentrations of these species are dependent on particle size. Results strongly support proposals that solar wind activity is a source of CH4 in lunar samples.
