Assessing the Volatile Inventory of Apatites in Lunar Impact Melt Breccias
Introduction: The recent discoveries of hydrogen (H) bearing species on the lunar surface and in samples derived from the lunar interior have necessitated a paradigm shift in our understanding of the water inventory of the Moon. The Moon was considered to be ‘bone-dry’ following the Apollo missions. However, since then estimates of interior lunar water have varied from ‘dry’ (few ppm) to ‘wet’ ...

متن کاملLarge Impacts at 4 . 2 Ga from Uranium - Lead Dating of Lunar Melt Breccias
Introduction: Crystallization ages of lunar impact melt rocks provide the primary evidence for a spike in the impact flux at ~3.9 Ga. Here we report U-Pb isotopic ages of accessory phases (apatite, zirconalite) in lunar melt breccia 67955 that confirm a crystallization age of ~4.2 Ga and reveal a younger overprint possibly related to entrainment of the breccia by one or more younger basins such...
متن کاملInhomogeneous Distribution of Magmatic Volatiles in the Lunar Interior: Clues from the Mineral Apatite
Introduction: The magmatic volatiles water, fluorine, and chlorine play critical roles in the physicochemical processes that control thermal stabilities of minerals and melts, magma eruptive processes, and transport of economically important metals. While these volatiles are significant constituents in many terrestrial and martian magmas, lunar magmas are generally depleted in these three volat...
