Scientific paper

It is suggested that the pattern of incompatible elements (K, Rb, Ba, the rare earths, Hf, etc.), which is the same for most samples from the lunar highlands, is typical for the whole lunar crust. It is supposed that a partial melting process of the major part of the moon has extracted the trace elements from the interior into the crust; the patterns of incompatible elements of mare basalts are those expected if a second partial melting process were applied to the trace-element-depleted interior.
