| Abstract: | A summary of total sulfur abundances representative of the Apollo Missions is presented. Lunar crystalline rocks range from
0 to 3100μg S g−1. Lunar soils range from 310 to 1300μg S g−1. Rock mixing models evaluate the distribution of sulfur and define indigenous rock components and extralunar contributions
of sulfur in lunar soils. Extralunar sulfur shows a positive correlation with a CC-1 like meteoritic component and solar wind
derived total carbon content in the Apollo 16 and 17 lunar soils.
