a Plagioclase-olivine-pyroxene ternary diagram (vol%) showing the relative abundances of major mineral groups in Apollo, CE-5, and CE-6 soils. b Plagioclase-clinopyroxene-orthopyroxene ternary diagram (vol%). Mineralogical data are compiled from Taylor et al.19 for Apollo soils, Li et al.22 for CE-5 soils, and Li et al.13 and this work for CE-6 soils.
