Allocation of subsamples of Apollo 17 lunar rocks from the boulder at station 7, for study by the International Consortium

January 1, 1978

The International Consortium was organized, under the leadership of E. C. T. Chao, to conduct a systematic interdisciplinary study of four lunar rock samples (77135, 77115, 77075 and 77215) collected by the Apollo 17 astronauts as representative of the four lithologies they recognized in the boulder at station 7. Tables 1 to 4 document the allocation of subsamples for consortium studies, and table 5 lists the members of the International Consortium.
