Beginning and end of lunar mare volcanism
- P. Schultz, P. Spudis
- Geology
- Nature
- 17 March 1983
Mare volcanism on the Moon is commonly attributed to an important but relatively short-lived epoch of internal heating after 3,900 Myr BP but before about 2,500 Myr BP (refs 1, 2). Although some… Expand

More than 15 years of planetary exploration of Mars have given insight into the geologic processes that have shaped its surface. The newly acquired Viking data have shown that volcanism is one of the… Expand
FeO and TiO2 concentrations in the South Pole‐Aitken basin: Implications for mantle composition and basin formation
- P. Lucey, G. Taylor, B. R. Hawke, P. Spudis
- Geology
- 25 February 1998
We use newly developed spectroscopic methods for determining FeO and TiO2 abundances to study the huge (2500 km diameter) South Pole-Aitken basin. The floor of this basin shows iron and titanium… Expand
