Scientific paper

One of the most important objectives of lunar study is to relate the lunar sample data to important lunar events. This paper utilizes as the basis of interpretation consideration of the following: (1) photogeologic data, (2) the choice of a cratering model, (3) estimates of temperature of impact ejecta and shock-induced heating, (4) petrologic data of lunar breccias and their thermal and shock history, and (5) meaningful age measurements. Both the author's interpretations and alternative views are discussed. The age of the Serenitatis event is not yet known. The interpreted age of the Imbrium event is between 3.90 and 3.84 Ga. The age of the Orientale event is 3.84 Ga.
