Abstract
Basaltic volcanism clearly exposed as dark surface units may represent only the last stages of continuous volcanic activity during the first 1.5 b.y. of lunar history. Between 3.0 and 3.9 AE, part of this record has been masked by ejecta deposits from large (> 100 km) impact craters but is then partly re-exposed by subsequent smaller impacts.
