Back to the Moon: The scientific rationale for resuming lunar surface exploration (2012, background): “…which may represent pristine magma ocean flotation cumulates (Ohtake et al., 2009); olivine rich outcrops which may sample mantle material (Yamamoto et al., 2010); and spinel-rich (Sunshine et al., 2010) and silica-rich (Greenhagen et al. 2010; Glotch et al. 2010; Jolliff et al., 2011)…”
Gravity and Topography of the Terrestrial Planets (2015, methodology): “When using the constraint that the minimum crustal thickness should be close to zero, as implied by the possible excavation of mantle materials from some impact basins (Yamamoto et al., 2010), the seismic analyses imply an average crustal thickness of either 34 or 43 km (Wieczorek et al.”
