Geoff Schwindt Bibliography Culle, Timothy S, et al. "Lunar Impact History from 40Ar/39Ar Dating of Glass Sperules.

" Science, New Series (2000): 1785-1788. Timothy Culle discusses in this article how he dated lunar impact spherules through argon dating and analyzed his results to determine when the most frequent cratering events occurred in lunar history, and determined that cratering events were not constant, as previously assumed. Fleischer, R L, et al. "Particle Track, X-ray, Thermal, and Mass Spectrometric Studies of Lunar Material." Science, New Series (1970): 568-571. This article describes various methods of analysis used on lunar soil samples to determinethe age, and composition of soil samples. This includes a test for glass involving the use of hydrochloric acid which may be applicable to the current project. This article also includes a list of the elements and minerals found in the soild. Greeley, Ronald. "Lunar Hadley Rille: Considerations of Its Origin." Science, New Series (1971): 722-725. Greeley demonstrates that Hadley Rille was most likely formed by a series of magma flows resulting in a lava tube underneath the ground which subsequently later collapsed, creating the Rille. Hannay, N B. "Mass Spectrographic Analysis of Solids." Science, New Series (1961): 1220-1225. Discussing the methods and technical details surround Mass Spectography, a general overview isgiven of the technology and its uses in determining the composition of solids, as well as the techniques used for such an analysis. Contains detailed diagrams and details on the workings and operations of a mass spectrometer of the vacuum spark variety, and tables which demonstrate the spectrographs limitations in detecting elements in spectra. Pillinger, C T and A P Gowar. "The Separation and Subdivision of Two 0.5g Samples of Lunar Soil Collected by the Luna 16 and 20 Missions." Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London (1977): 137-143. Pillinger and Gowar separate two small samples of lunar soil into its base components through a use of various techniques. These include separation by size, density, and finally, by magnetic properties. Included is detailed information about each of the processes used to separate the solids.

Pillinger, C T and D M Fabian. "The Separation and Distribution of Some Luna 24 Core Materials." Transactions of the Royal Society of London (1980): 1-6. Three samples from the Luna 24 mission are analyzed in a British laboratory using a variety of methods, including size, visual appearance, density, and magnetic response. Included is a description of each method and the results obtained. Prettyman, T H, et al. "Elemental Compsition of the lunar surface: Analysis of gamma ray spectroscopy data from Lunar Prospector." Journal of Geophysical Research-Planets (2006). Describes how gamma-ray spectroscophy was used in determining the elemental makeup of the lunar soil by the Lunar Prospector mission. Contains detailed information on gamma-ray spectroscophy and the elemental compositions of the lunar soil. Tolansky, S. "Interferometric Examination of Small Glassy Spherules and Related Objects in a 5-Gram Lunar Dust Sample." Science, New Series (1970): 742743. Tolansky writes about 200 glass spherules discovered in a five-gram sample of lunar soil. Descriptions include an analysis of the spherules size, shape, color, and surface properties. Also provides a plausible explanation for the formation of the spherules. Turner, Grenville. "Argon-40/Argon-39 Dating of Lunar Rock Samples." Science, New Series (1970): 466 468. Greenville discusses the method of Argon dating for lunar samples. He specifies that it is not entirely accurate due to impact events causing the samples to likely lose some Argon content. However the system is still accurate within a certain error, which is listed in tables. Additionally the process of using a mass spectrometer to age date the samples is described in detail Xuesong, Wang, NJ Miles and S Kingman. "Segregation of ultrafine particles in a centrifugal fluidized bed separator." Advanced PowderTechnology (2008): 335348. The article describes how fine particles can by physically separated in a centrifuge by using various techniques and speeds. Describes the most efficient method discovered for separating solids in a centrifuge, which could prove useful for spherule separation on the moon.
