Title: Chemical composition of lunar anorthosites and their parent liquids
Abstract: Two types of lunar anorthosites, associated anorthositic materials and parent non-mare basalts exist on the moon. One type is low in alkalies and trace elements and includes 15415 and Apollo 11 anorthositic materials and derives from low K non-mare basalts. The second type is high in alkalies and trace elements and derived from the KREEP type of non-mare basalts.
