Scientific paper

The high Mg# of lunar picritic glasses relative to mare basalts, as well as other attributes (high Ni, low Al, contrasting incompatible element abundances, higher multiple saturation pressures), have been interpreted as indicating that these glasses represent extremely primitive lunar magmas that approach primary magma compositions. Although these glasses have been utilized in numerous lunar studies, we still do not truly understand many aspects of these volcanic glass. A case in point is the A15 very low-Ti picritic glasses which have been used extensively in modeling many aspects of the Moon. These glasses show a range of contrasting chemical characteristics.
