We made a study and a course of the NASA Lunar Educational Thin Section Set with comparisons of parameters read from lunar textures, terrestrial pillow lava textures and industrial materials. TTT diagram of basalts (using also basaltic clasts from breccias and soil samples), from different paragenetic sequences, textural characteristics, estimated cooling rates was constructed and some materials of corresponding technologies (cooling rates, industrial TTT diagrams of hardening steel and forming industrial textures) were also compared. Silicate grain relations of the fabric were modeled by cellular automata description.
