Dave,
Not to beat a dead horse but please take note when you watch the video that.
The red of shorty Crater is only exposed because it was hit by a meteorite
and excavated a crater. Similarly, if the other 40 spots found with this red
material also were exposed by meteorite hits. Does that
Al,
Okay . Bad comparison with red on outside or milbillillie but The question I
asked was sort of answered by the other Carl. His posted video shows that the
current Japanese probe has spotted 41 different spots on the moon which have
this red color. Including the one we found called shorty
Greg,
Interesting observation.
Recently, I asked the same question to Randy Korotev. As I recall he said it
was Earth oxidation.
I then looked at all of the pictures on his web site and noticed that the only
ones he shows with this red
color are the Oman examples. Most of them are listed as
in part as a result of the absorptive qualities and absorption rates
of the different mineralogy.
there is also a difference between oxidation and stainingor
tinting, the term i prefer for auction catalog descriptions ;-)

Hi Carl and all,
Just a note, the Millbillillie reddish color comes from the red clay in
that area of Australia and isn't oxidation to my knowledge. There are
many pristine samples of Millbillillie with black fusion crust. Also
Millbillillie is a somewhat fairly fresh fall that didn't happen
