Scientific paper

Current models for the evolution of REE abundances in high-Ti mare basalts are reviewed, the models falling into two classes: simple cumulate remelting models and complex assimilation and hybridization models. Calculations show that the total melting of a cumulate having the modal mineralogy of high-Ti mare basalts can provide for the approximate level of enrichment of REE relative to chondrites, but results in a poor match for the Apollo 17 high-Ti basalt REE pattern.
