Apollo 16 particle 65903,16-7 is a magnesian, alkali-rich impact melt breccia. Low Fe/Mn and high phosphide/phosphate ratios are evidence of severe reduction during impact-melt cooling. Presence of carbonate and FeOOH is evidence for later oxidation. Additional information is contained in the original extended abstract.
