Scientific paper

The combined evidence from terrestrial anorthosites and experimental
laboratory studies strongly implies that lunar anorthosites have been
subjected to high-grade metamorphic events that have erased the igneous
signatures of FeO and MgO in their plagioclases. Arguments to the
contrary have, to this point, been more hopeful than rigorous.
