Crystallization of the lunar magma ocean and the primordial mantle-crust differentiation of the Moon
We present crystallization experiments on silicate melt compositions related to the lunar
magma ocean (LMO) and its evolution with cooling. Our approach aims at constraining the …

The case for the angrite parent body as the archetypal first-generation planetesimal: Large, reduced and Mg-enriched
Angrites are silica-undersaturated achondrites formed very early in the history of the Solar
System, and the most volatile-depleted known meteorites. As such, the study of angrites can …

Low Ni and Co olivine in Chang'E-5 basalts reveals the origin of the young volcanism on the Moon
Mare basalts returned by the Chang'E-5 (CE5) mission extend the duration of lunar
volcanism almost one billion years longer than previously dated. Recent studies …

The Ca isotope composition of mare basalts as a probe into the heterogeneous lunar mantle
The Ca isotope compositions of mare basalts offer a novel insight into the heterogeneous
nature of the lunar mantle. We present new high-precision Ca isotope data for a suite of low …

New high pressure experiments on sulfide saturation of high-FeO∗ basalts with variable TiO2 contents–Implications for the sulfur inventory of the lunar interior
In order to constrain sulfur concentration in intermediate to high-Ti mare basalts at sulfide
saturation (SCSS), we experimentally equilibrated FeS melt and basaltic melt using a piston …
