  • Magmatic volatiles (H, C, N, F, S, Cl) in the lunar mantle, crust, and regolith: Abundances, distributions, processes, and reservoirs 
    McCubbin, Francis M.; Treiman, Allan H.; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8073-2839 (Mineralogical Society of America, 2015-08-01)
    Many studies exist on magmatic volatiles (H, C, N, F, S, Cl) in and on the Moon, within the last several years, that have cast into question the post-Apollo view of lunar formation, the distribution and sources of volatiles ...

    Based on a detailed study of time-dependent or viscous remanence (VRM), thermoremanence (TRM) and magnetic granulometry of soil breccia 14313, single-domain particles of iron 100-200 Å in size are proposed as the major ...

    Gose, W. A.; Pearce, G. W.; Strangway, David W.; Larson, E. E. (Pergamon Press, 1972)
    The magnetic properties of Apollo 14 breccias can be explained in terms of the grain size distribution of the interstitial iron which is directly related to the metamorphic grade of the sample.
  • Magnetic properties of Apollo samples and implications for regolith formation 
    Pearce, G. W.; Strangway, David W.; Gose, W. A. (Pergamon Press, 1974)
    The magnetic properties of a number of Apollo 17 samples have been measured and confirm that regoliths of mare sites (Apollo 11, 12, 15 valley, and 17 valley) differ markedly from those of highland sites (Apollo 14, 16, ...
  • Magnetic studies on Apollo 15 and 16 lunar samples 
    Pearce, G. W.; Gose, W. A.; Strangway, David W. (Pergamon Press, 1973)
    The magnetic properties of lunar samples are almost exclusively due to rather pure metallic iron. The mare basalt contains about 0.06 wt.% Fe, the soils 0.5--0.6 wt.%, and the breccias 0.3-1.0 wt.%. Most of the additional ...

    Joy et al. (2012) utilized a new element mapping routine that was developed to locate specific phases in complex crystalline or brecciated rocks. Several simple computer routines (macros) were developed to manage the data ...
  • Mare Basalts on the Apennine Front and the Mare Stratigraphy of the Apollo 15 Landing Site 
    Ryder, Graham (Lunar and Planetary Institute, 1989)
    Olivine-nonnative mare basalts are present on the Apennine Front as crystalline particles and shocked or shock-melted fragments. Picritic basalts, which may be related to the olivine-nonnative basalts by olivine accumulation, ...
  • Mare volcanism and lunar crustal structure 
    Solomon, Sean C. (Pergamon Press, 1975)
    In this paper, simple hydrostatic concepts are extended to synthesize results from experimental petrology, lunar chronology, thermal history models, seismology, and gravity. Explanations of several heretofore unrelated ...
