Scientific paper

Crystal/liquid partition coefficients for Cr, V, Mn, and Fe have been determined experimentally between olivine, orthopyroxene, clinopyroxene, and silicate melt possessing the composition of a primitive lunar green glass, at oxygen fugacities appropriate to the lunar interior. Bulk moon abundances for Cr and V are calculated for a range of reasonable assumptions concerning the petrogenetic relationships between differentiated portions of the moon and complementary refractory residua consisting of olivine and orthopyroxene mineralogies. The results of these experiments support the contention that the moon was formed from the earth's mantle.
