Scientific paper

A spinel troctolite and an anorthosite from the Apollo 16 landing site
represent contrasting types of "primitive" lunar cumulates. The two rock
types probably formed from the same parent magma type, a high-alumina
magnesian basalt, with the troctolite forming earlier by crystal
settling, and the anorthosite later, possibly by flotation.
