Nonmare basalts. II.

Abstract

Chemical characteristics of KREEP basalts from the Apollo 12 site are discussed. It is indicated that nonmare basalts are chemically distinct from mare basalts, primarily in FeO and Al2O3 concentrations and their ratios, and that the spectra of the former are closely related to the degree of partial melting. It is also noted that the chemical compositions of KREEP basalts from Apollo 12, 13, and 14 show very little chemical variation.
