Scientific paper

Major- and trace-element data is presented for a large number of petrographically diverse Apollo 17 basalts, and an attempt is made to evaluate what proportion of the total compositional variance can be attributed to near-surface crystal fractionation and what proportion to magma-generating processes such as partial melting and source heterogeneity. Three well-defined and self-consistent basalt types were identified on the basis of data for fine-grained, rapidly-chilled samples.
