The authors refine Pieter's (1978) global classification of mare basalts by determining the FeO and TiO2 contents and relative abundance of olivine of mare units mapped by her, using techniques which have been recently developed. The authors have also constructed a GIS data base that includes the nearside geologic map and the concentrations of FeO and TiO2. The analysis of these data indicate that there is a range in the FeO content of mare lava flows from about 13 to 20 wt. percent. TiO2 content ranges widely and continuously from low values of 0.6 wt. percent up to regions with apparent concentrations between 15 and 20 wt. percent. The data are completely consistent with the spectral properties on which the original classification was based.
