Experimental Petrology and Petrogenesis of Apollo 12 Basalts

The petrogenesis of the Apollo 14 high-Al mare basalts

In this paper, we report analysis of various basaltic lunar samples including 14053 and 14072, KREEP basalt 15386, thirty basalt clasts from Apollo 14 breccia 14321, as well as impact-generated samples (matrix from breccia 14168, olivine vitrophyres 14321,1180 and 14321,1539, and impact melt 14310) using a combination of solution and laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (...

PETROGENESIS OF THE APOLLO 14 HIGH-Al BASALTS REVISITED: DISTINCT MAGMATIC EVENTS, SOURCE METASOMATISM, AND AFC

METAL—OLIVINE ASSOCIATIONS AND Ni—Co CONTENTS IN TWO APOLLO 12 MARE BASALTS

Olivine crystals in mare basalts 12004,8 and 12022,12 are normally zoned with Cr-poor rims. The Ni content of rare 2—10-jim metal inclusions in olivine decreases markedly as Fe/Mg in their immediate olivine hosts increases. Each metal grain appears to have been enclosed by late olivine almost immediately after it crystallized. The frac tionation trend for the olivine and metal contrasts with th...

Petrology and Stratigraphy of the Fra Mauro Formation at the Apollo

The Apollo 14 rocks returned to ear th a re divisible into two broad groups: relatively hoinogeneous crystalline rocks and fragmental rocks (breccias). The crystalline rocks are, for the most par t , metaclastic, but a few, including the second largest sample returned, a re aphyric basalts. All of the crystalline rocks a re considered to be clasts dislodged from fragmental rocks. These fragment...
