Scientific paper

A method was proposed for recognizing suites of samples which are related to the differentiation of distinct and regionally separated magmas in the early lunar surface ocean. The sample suites were identified by three Cl-P2O5 compositional groups. New experimental data continue to add samples to these groups. Each magma was associated with a convection cell the boundaries of which are proposed. Independent geochemical evidence supporting a limited number of early magmas is cited. Two new possible Cl-P2O5 groups are identified. Samples not indigenous to a given site and their possible source regions are identified. It is proposed that many Apollo 17 basalts are not locally derived.
