Abstract:

The low-K Fra Mauro (LKFM) basalt composition is common among the melt breccias sampled by the Apollo missions to the lunar highlands. We analyzed major and minor elements in mineral clasts in the lunar LKFM impact melts 15445 and 15455, which may represent Imbrium Basin impact melt, to determine their provenance.
