Petrogenetic association of the oldest lunar basalts: Combined Rb–Sr isotopic and trace element constraints
We report a new radiometric Rb–Sr age determination of 4.0370.04 Ga for high-Al basaltic clast 14321,1353, which is a Group B Apollo 14 high-Al basalt based on its whole-rock incompatible-traceelement chemistry. In addition, available literature Rb–Sr isotope data for Apollo 14 high-Al basalts were reprocessed using the same decay constant and data reduction protocol as used for sample 14321,13...

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 (...
متن کاملAn Apollo 15 mare basalt fragment and lunar mare provinces
Lunar sample 15474,4 is a tiny fragment of olivine-augite vitrophyre that is a mare basalt. Although petrographically distinct from all other Apollo 15 samples, it has been ignored since its first brief description. Our new petrographic and mineral chemical data show that the olivines and pyroxenes are distinct from those in other basalts. The basalt cooled and solidified extremely rapidly; som...

Searching for high alumina mare basalts using Clementine UVVIS and Lunar Prospector GRS data: Mare Fecunditatis and Mare Imbrium
a r t i c l e i n f o a b s t r a c t In the context of sample evidence alone, the high-alumina (HA) basalts appear to be an unique, and rare variety of mare basalt. In addition to their distinct chemistry, radiometric dating reveals these basalts to be among the oldest sampled mare basalts. Yet, HA basalts were sampled by four missions spanning a lateral range of ∼2400 km, with ages demonstrat...
