Scientific paper

The paper addresses the question whether the exotic component sampled in lunar fines and as discrete rock fragments represents a moon-wide radioactive crust, or whether its source is more regional than global. It is suggested that the exotic component represents trace element enriched material from the Imbrium-Procellarum region, which was surficially deposited during Imbrium excavation and re-exposed from under the mare lavas in subsequent cratering events; surficial transport processes have distributed these materials widely over the lunar surface. There appears no need to invoke a global radioactive crust to explain the ubiquitous presence of this component in the lunar regolith.
