Scientific paper

Four lines of recent evidence show that the moon is more modestly endowed in refractory elements and heat sources than previously thought. However, even this reduced endowment is adequate for the genesis of known lunar rock types. The thickness and nature of the initially molten zone and the structure of the crust and the lithosphere produced from it are the major uncertainties in models of lunar petrogenesis.
