The samples included in the study were all collected as individual specimens from Station 11 near the rim of North Ray Crater. Samples were selected to cover the entire range of rock types from anorthosites to subophitic impact melts, giving particular attention to the feldspathic breccias which predominate at the site. The chemical composition of North Ray Crater rocks is discussed along with the compositional variations among North Ray Crater samples, and the relationships between North Ray Crater and other Apollo 16 stations. It is pointed out that the primary objective in sampling the Apollo 16 site was to characterize materials from the Cayley Plains and Descartes Highlands.
