Titanium-rich basaltic melts on the Moon modulated by reactive flow processes
The origin of titanium-rich basaltic magmatism on the Moon remains enigmatic. Ilmenite-
bearing cumulates in the lunar mantle are often credited as the source, but their partial melts …

Revisiting magnesium isotope constraints on the petrogenesis of the Fe-Ti oxide-bearing mafic–ultramafic intrusions
Stable isotopes of metals, such as magnesium (Mg) and iron (Fe), typically undergo minimal
fractionation at magmatic temperatures. However, in Fe-Ti oxide-bearing intrusions …
