| Important: If you were sent here via a link from Dr. Randy Korotev of Washington University in St. Louis, please be aware that the document he created represents pseudo-science of the highest order and is completely politically motivated. Political motivation is defined here as; "a need to advance an agenda of scientific misconduct, greed, fraud, and discrimination using science and the academic arena as an operational nerve center". We have already dissected, debunked, and discredited his linked non-scientific document(s) and posted the results on SCIFRAUD. I informed Dr. Korotev, "you have a very narrow and fraudulent view of lunar chemistry" (surface and subsurface). Dr. Korotev responded with an apology to BCC Meteorites for his scientific misconduct and attempted fraud on WIKIPEDIA. He did not deny the allegations lodged against him regarding lunar chemistry! In essence, Dr. Korotev and a small band of rogue (unsupervised) scientists have constructed a shallow mold to fit their vision of all lunar materials. This short-sighted and faulty vision was shattered by BCC Meteorites as far back as 2002, when we verified Taylor's (HIGP) lunar surface chemistry weaned from the extensive Clementine: Lunar Surface Data Mapping Project. We apologize to the public and legitimate research scientists for any confusion created by these pseudo-scientists at our public and private universities funded by the taxpayers through, including but not limited to the NSF and NASA. |
| Showing the top
and bottom surfaces of the main mass
(weathered-meaning no fusion crust). Hackly fracture of the bottom of
the piece on the right, was
the portion ripped away from the surface of the Moon during impact. The
chemical composition for BCC9601 indicates the lunar highlands is
differentiated. BCC9601 has an anhydrous granitic composition but a
basaltic appearance. How do you know it is from the Moon? There
are
numerous tests one can conduct to verify a sample and use comparative
known composition from publications dating back to the early 1970's.
The most important finding(s) which relate to the lunar surface crust
by a clear path showing the sample was disturbed only by
stellar grain implantation and cosmic particle implantation. Indeed,
careful analysis shows the bulk composition matches or mimics the
cosmic chemical memory for the elements across the board;
although
rearranged into high temperature crystalline molecules-crystals to
satisfy
temperature and pressue conditions on the Moon. This is verifed in part
by having studied the chemical composition of particles found on
Surveyor instruments brought back during the Apollo lunar landing in
1969. |

| BCC9601 sliced in half,
the inside of both
pieces. The circular regions at
the
bottom are saw cuts resulting from the changing of saws (blades) part
way
into the process. The lunar surface is very very hard and this required
us switch from a water lubricated diamond saw blade to an oil immersion
lubricant. Plainly evident is the weathering rind around the
outside
edges as well as the impact fractures and rounded corners
characterisitic of flight orientation for meteorites. This corner
rounding is the result of ablated surfaces while the sample is shifting
around in response to variations in air pressure and its center of
gravity. |

Lunar highlands surface while very cohesive
shows
minute plate separation at the surface. Barely visible on the
surface are small white specs which are stellar crystalline grains
about the size of sand grains and some slightly larger. When sliced,
high temperature stellar grains were found inside the sample. This
means the grains were bombarding the lunar surface during its lengthy
formation, heating, crystallization, and cooling. Generally speaking on the rock types found on the Moon. Breccias appear to as forming due to massive meteorite impacts of redistributed and re-compacted material. The lunar regolith blanket can be be more closely tied to stellar grain and micro-meteorite bombardment and pulverization and powdering. |

Showing the highly dense interior surface and
evident is the exterior surface rind resulting from terrestrial
weathering. Because of the combination of temperature and pressure of
formation, the excessive SiO2 while uniform from differentiation,
shows evidence of reconstrcutive trransformation rather than displacive
transformation into alpha-quartz. That is easily deciphered using
several methods of analysis including X-ray diffraction and EDS
analysis. |
