Volcanic glass signatures in spectroscopic survey of newly proposed lunar pyroclastic deposits
Moon Mineralogy Mapper spectroscopic observations are used to assess the mineralogy of five sites that have recently been proposed to include lunar dark mantle deposits (DMDs). Volcanic glasses have, for the first time, clearly been identified at the location of three of the proposed pyroclastic deposits. This is the first time that volcanic glasses have been identified at such a small scale on...
متن کاملHIGH-Ti VOLCANIC GLASSES: DERIVATION FROM A GARNET-BEARING SOURCE COUPLED WITH ASSIMILATION OF LATE-STAGE LMO
Introduction: The presence of garnet in the lunar mantle has been debated from many years (e.g., [1-3]). Data from the Apollo seismic network were unable to unambiguously resolve a garnet signature in the lower mantle. For example, higher seismic velocities in the lunar mantle (>500 km) could be indicative of an increased proportion of Mg-rich olivine [2,4], or be due to the presence of garnet ...
متن کاملHigh pre-eruptive water contents preserved in lunar melt inclusions.
The Moon has long been thought to be highly depleted in volatiles such as water, and indeed published direct measurements of water in lunar volcanic glasses have never exceeded 50 parts per million (ppm). Here, we report in situ measurements of water in lunar melt inclusions; these samples of primitive lunar magma, by virtue of being trapped within olivine crystals before volcanic eruption, did...
متن کاملMicroscale distribution and behavior of Th, REE, and K during regolith formation processes on the Moon: Implications for remote sensing of the surfaces of airless planetary bodies
Introduction: Remotely sensed geochemical data provide extremely valuable information concerning the global distribution of elements on a planetary surface, and are valuable in the identification of major crustal terranes. Planetary geochemical maps of the Moon and Mars for several elements such as Th, rare earth elements (REE), K, and Fe have been or are currently being prepared and have yield...
متن کاملThe Search for Water in Igneous Lunar Materials: a Re-assessment of the Lunar Magmatic Volatile Budget
Introduction: Magmatic volatiles such as H 2 O, F, Cl, CO 2 , and S play a critical role in physiochemical processes that control thermal stabilities of minerals and melts, magma eruptive processes, and transport of economically important metals. Of these volatiles, water is the dominant magmatic volatile in terrestrial magmas both because of its abundance and its strong effect on physical prop...
