Petrologic History of Lunar Phosphates Accounts for the Water Content of the Moon’s Mare Basalts
We present reaction balancing and thermodynamic modeling based on microtextural observations and mineral chemistry, to constrain the history of phosphate crystallization within two lunar mare basalts, 10003 and 14053. Phosphates are typically found within intercumulus melt pockets (mesostasis), repr...
