A review of lunar chronology revealing a preponderance of 4.34–4.37 Ga ages (2015, background): “In fact, studies of lunar meteorites demonstrate that anorthosites with high Mg/(Mg+Fe) are abundant in the lunar surface (Korotev et al. 2003; Korotev 2005; Takeda et al. 2006; Arai et al. 2008; Joy and Arai 2013; Gross et al. 2014).”
“New” lunar meteorites: Implications for composition of the global lunar surface, lunar crust, and the bulk Moon (2005, background): “Moreover, regolith samples tend to show limited compositional diversity within any small region of the Moon much more than other lunar materials (Warren 1994; Korotev et al. 2003).”
The density and porosity of lunar rocks (2012, background): “The mafic minerals have varying relative abundances of Mg and Fe; differences between Apollo samples and lunar meteorites suggest the possibility of regional variability of the Mg# in the lunar highland crust [Korotev et al., 2003].”
