Scientific paper
Theories on the formation of the earth and moon by accretion are reviewed, and it is shown that small asteroid-like bodies constituted the primary accretion component in the earliest formation stages. Observational data on the objects responsible for pre-mare crater formation are discussed and analyzed, and these objects are classified according to mass. Based on this analysis, it is concluded that: (1) the majority of the most ancient solid bodies in the solar system were relatively small, (2) most of the mass of ancient planetesimals was contained in smaller bodies, (3) these smaller bodies simultaneously formed the planets and larger planetesimals, and (4) the small bodies at the earliest evolutionary stage were ejected mainly from the region of the earth and moon.
