Hello Doug. Thank you for your two suggestions. Unfortunately, I can only use one of them. In the chemistry of lunar rocks, not only water but carbon (and thus CO3) is depleted. Thus, there is no CaCO3 on the moon. While there may be minerals there which react similarly, my knowledge of chemical geology is too limited for me to guess at which ones, since I have little data from Apollo and probe samples. However, I fully intend to take your suggestion on e-mail contacts. Thank you, Darkfyre 74562,245
