Accretionary origin for the late Archean Ashuanipi Complex of Canada [PDF]
The Ashuanipi complex is one of the largest massif granulite terrains of the Canadian Shield. It makes up the eastern end of the 2000 km long, lower-grade, east-west belts of the Archean Superior Province, permitting lithological, age and tectonic ...

The probable continuum between emplacement of plutons and mare volcanism in lunar crustal evolution [PDF]
A scenario for the formation of the Moon is advanced and is argued to be consistent with both known data and the leading hypothesis regarding the formation of the Moon. It is concluded that, although the volume of mare basalts is estimated to be only 0.1
