Scientific paper

Lunar ultramafic glasses vary widely in their Ti content from 0.26 to 16.4 wt. pct TiO2. Many models have been proposed to explain this compositional variation, and each has important consequences for the evolution of the lunar interior. This extended abstract describes experimental investigations designed to test an assimilation model for the origin of the high-Ti ultramafic glasses that leave the dense TiO2-rich cumulates in their initial stratigraphic position near the top of the cumulate pile beneath the lunar crust. Phase equilibrium and dissolution rate experiments were conducted involving the lunar magma ocean cumulate.
