A preliminary analysis of the Mariner 10 color ratio map of Mercury [PDF]
A preliminary geological analysis of the Mariner 10 orange/UV color ratio map of Mercury is given, assuming a basaltic crust. Certain errors in the map are pointed out. The relationship between color and terrain are distinctly non-lunar.

The surface abundance and stratigraphy of lunar rocks from data about their albedo [PDF]
The data pf ground-based studies and surveys of the lunar surface by the Zond and Apollo spacecraft have been used to construct an albedo map covering 80 percent of the lunar sphere.

Varieties of lunar meteorites recovered from Antarctica [PDF]
, 1991 By the 1988-1989 field season, more than 10 specimens of lunar meteorites have been recovered in Antarctica by the U. S. and Japanese Expeditions. The specimens from the Yamato Mountains, Allan Hills and MacAlpine Hills (Y-791197,Y-82192/193,Y-86032 [1],

New Explanation for the Near-Side/Far-Side Lunar Maria Disparity
Journal of Geography, Environment and Earth Science International, 2022 Any attempt to understand the origin of lunar maria must as well account for the dearth of maria on the far-side of the Moon. Various attempts have been made to explain the origin of lunar maria based solely upon obvious lunar processes, namely, volcanism and impact phenomena.

New insight into the composition of the lunar surface from SiO2 map
Frontiers in Astronomy and Space SciencesThe distribution of FeO and TiO2 reveals mantle source characteristics and basaltic diversity, whereas SiO2 distribution is closely related to magma evolution and crustal differentiation. However, global studies on SiO2 remain limited.
