Scientific paper

Old igneous rocks plus evidence for a cool interior suggest cold accumulation and fusion of a thin surface layer by the early ``superluminous'' phase of the Sun. This melted layer, estimated from crater slumping to be 5-6 km thick, filled collision craters to form ``mascons''. Fusion of the surface and accumulating material explains the scarcity of volatile elements.
