An experimental and petrologic investigation of the source regions of lunar magmatism in the context of the primordial differentiation of the Moon
… crust-building plutonic lithologies of the Mg-suite dating to ~4.3 Ga, and the most recent known mare basaltic magmas dating to ~3 Ga. These samples provide insight into the petrogenesis of magmas and interior thermal state when the Moon was a hot, juvenile planet, and also during the last …

Experimental simulation of Lunar Magma Ocean crystallization : insights into mantle composition and the source regions of lunar basaltic magmatism
… in greater quantities. Both compositions produce Mg-rich early cumulate piles that extend from the core-mantle boundary to ~355 km depth, if 50% equilibrium crystallization and whole Moon melting are assumed. Although they physically encompass the depth of the low-Ti green glass source, mantle …
