Apollo 11 and 12 mare basalts and gabbros: Classification, compositional variations, and possible petrogenetic relations Apollo 11 and 12 mare basalts and gabbros: Classification, compositional variations, and possible petrogenetic relations

On the basis of composition, it is possible to distinguish three major groups of Apollo 12 basaltic rocks: olivine-pigeonite basalts and gabbros, ilmenite-bearing basalts and gabbros, and feldspathic basalts. Two major groups of Apollo 11 basalts are also distinguishable: ophitic ilmenite basalts and intersertal ilmenite basalts. Compositional variations between samples within groups are...
