Geochemical thermometry processing of the results of a computer simulation of lunar highland rock fragments of about 200 different compositions from Apollo 16 and Luna 20 samples has made it possible to identify magmatically related specimens among the random rock collection. Three such groups have been identified in the Apollo 16 samples and two in the Luna 20 samples. The compositions of the melts common for the fragments of each group are determined, as are the ratios and compositions of the solid phases at the moment of rock formation. The composition of the melts common for the groups are close to the composition of high-alumina melts and of the Ringwood primary crust magma.
