The Effects of Basin Formation on the Lunar Geochemical Terranes
Introduction: The early history of the Moon, namely the first ~700 My following its formation, was an era marked by the formation of 43 basins (impact craters >300 km in diameter) [1,2,3]. Basin formation during this period had significant effects on the entire lunar crust; material from depth was excavated and redistributed across the entire surface [4]. The material redistributed by basins ca...
متن کاملApplication of C-A fractal model and exploratory data analysis (EDA) to delineate geochemical anomalies in the: Takab 1:25,000 geochemical sheet, NW Iran
Abstract Most conventional statistical methods aiming at defining geochemical concentration thresholds for separating anomalies from background have limited effectiveness in areas with complex geological settings and variable lithology. In this paper, median+2MAD as a method of exploratory data analysis (EDA) and concentration-area (C-A) fractal model as two effective approaches in separation g...
متن کاملIdentification of mineralization features and deep geochemical anomalies using a new FT-PCA approach
The analysis of geochemical data in frequency domain, as indicated in this research study, can provide new exploratory informationthat may not be exposed in spatial domain. To identify deep geochemical anomalies, sulfide zone and geochemical noises in Dalli Cu–Au porphyry deposit, a new approach based on coupling Fourier transform (FT) and principal component analysis (PCA) has beenused. The re...
متن کاملMAC88105-A regolith breccia from the lunar highlands: Miner~o~c~ petrological, and geochemical studies*
The new large Iunar meteorite MAC88105 is a dense breccia, with lithic and mineral clasts and fragments set into a welded matrix. It is a regolith breccia which shows some recrystallization and evidence for a late shock event during which anorthositic glass veins were formed. Shock effects (most probably due to the impact ejection from the moon) are present throughout the sample and require a s...
متن کاملTime-of-day–dependent global distribution of lunar surficial water/hydroxyl
A new set of time-of-day-dependent global maps of the lunar near-infrared water/hydroxyl (H2O/OH) absorption band strength near 2.8 to 3.0 μm constructed on the basis of Moon Mineralogy Mapper (M3) data is presented. The analyzed absorption band near 2.8 to 3.0 μm indicates the presence of surficial H2O/OH. To remove the thermal emission component from the M3 reflectance spectra, a reliable and...
