Ultramafic parent magmas for mare basalts?
Abstract
Solidification products of basaltic magmas (fine grained basalts and ultramafic glasses) at the Apollo 15 site were examined. Consideration of simple MgO-6IO2-Al2O3 systematics plus results of calculations of fractional crystallization was reviewed. Suggestions are presented to account for the lack of correlation between the ultramafic glasses and basalts.
