Lunar ferroan anorthosites: Mineralogy, compositional variations, and petrogenesis
Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, 1993Detailed petrologic study of a suite of lunar ferroan anorthosites indicates that their mineral compositional variations are generally consistent with derivation of these anorthosites from a common parent magma. There are continuous compositional variations in major elements and smooth trends in minor elements (Mg, Fe in plagioclase; Al, Ti, Cr in ...

Petrology, mineralogy, and genesis of lunar crystalline igneous rocks
Journal of Geophysical Research, 1970Information on the mineralogy and petrology of the Apollo 11 crystalline basaltic rocks, obtained by about 35 groups of investigators, is summarized and used as a basis for speculation. The textural assemblage indicates near-surface, rapid crystallization from low-viscosity basaltic magmas under low oxygen pressures.

Unveiling the mineralogical composition of lunar farside mare basalts
. IntroductionOne of the Moon’s most surprising characteristics is its crustal asymmetry; the farside hemisphere, dominated by ancient highlands and covered with a few mare deposits, has a different volcanic history than the (sampled) nearside [1]. Surface dating of the lunar mare basalts revealed that the volcanism on the Moon lasted betweenNicolas Bott +3 more
