Recent evidence from two sources provides a basis for a reexamination of the relationship between the stratigraphy at the Apollo 16 site and the trace element distribution. Information concerning the surface exposure ages makes it possible to relate many samples to specific local impact events. At least five ancient meteoritic components have been tentatively assigned to individual basin-forming impacts on the basis of trace element analyses of Apollo 17 rocks. Attention is given to a petrographic examination of separates from two soils from Station 11 (North Ray Crater).
