Results are presented for the multielement analysis of samples of lunar soil (60501 and 64501), igneous rock (60315), and the light portion of breccia 60017. A mixing model for soil compositions has been proposed consisting of linear combinations of the KREEP basalt 60315 and the anorthositic gabbroic sample 60017. A comparison of trace elements in lunar soils from different missions indicates the marked depletion of the LIL elements in the Apollo 16 samples.
