Titanium in olivine reveals low-Ti origin of the Chang'E-5 lunar basalts

Di Zhang et al.

Summary: China's Chang'E-5 mission has provided new samples from the Moon, which have led to a reassessment of the lunar volcanic activity. The study shows that the Chang'E-5 basalts are low-Ti type, challenging previous understanding of the moon's thermal and magmatic evolution. This finding is significant for our understanding of the moon's geological history.

Characteristics of the lunar samples returned by the Chang'E-5 mission

Chunlai Li et al.

Summary: The CE-5 lunar sample collected by China's Chang'E-5 mission is consistent with weathered mare basalts in terms of mineralogy and petrochemistry. It is classified as a low-Ti/low-Al/low-K type with lower rare-earth-element (REE) contents compared to KREEP. This new sample, characterized by high FeO and low Mg index, could potentially represent a new class of lunar basalt.

Yun Jiang et al.

Summary: In this study, a basalt sample collected from China's Chang'E-5 mission was analyzed using state-of-the-art techniques. The results revealed the petrology and mineralogy of the sample, which showed similarities to high-Ti basalts from the Apollo and Luna missions. This study provides important evidence for the geological context at the Chang'E-5 landing site.

Quantitative Analysis of Bulk Composition of Small-size Lunar Samples Using Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy

Jiangyan Yuan et al.

Summary: A non-destructive technique using scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) mapping has been developed to determine the bulk composition of rare lunar samples with small sizes. This method is reliable and accurate for quantitative analysis of small-sized samples. It is significant for research on the bulk compositions of Chang'E-5 lunar samples and terrestrial and extraterrestrial samples at the micron- to centimeter-scale.

Keqing Zong et al.

Summary: The chemical composition study of CE-5 lunar soil shows that its major and trace elements are uniform and representative of the underlying basalt; CE-5 soil differs from basalt and soils returned by Apollo and Luna missions, but the depletion of volatile or siderophile elements in their mantle sources is comparable; The mantle source of CE-5 basalt may contain KREEP components, likely as trapped interstitial melts.

A Raman Spectroscopic and Microimage Analysis Perspective of the Chang'e-5 Lunar Samples

Haijun Cao et al.

Summary: Through detailed Raman spectroscopic analysis, the mineralogical characteristics of CE-5 soils were evaluated, showing distinct differences in mineral chemistry and modal abundance compared to Apollo rocks, possibly representing a new type of mare basalt. The presence of minor Mg-rich materials suggests contamination from exogenous sources, and micrometeorite reworking dominates the regolith evolution of CE-5 soils.

Quantitative verification of 1:35 diluted fused glass disks with 10 mg sample sizes for the wavelength-dispersive X-ray fluorescence analysis of the whole-rock major elements of precious geological specimens

Ding-Shuai Xue et al.

Summary: Herein, an improved wavelength-dispersive X-ray fluorescence (WD-XRF) analytical technique was developed for determining the major elements in precious geological samples, particularly extraterrestrial basaltic rock samples. The method involved the preparation of undersized glass disks, construction of calibration curves, investigation of various factors, validation using synthetic reference glass samples and certified reference materials, and comparison with inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy results. The proposed method showed great application potential, especially for precious samples like lunar soil samples.

Quantitative Mineral Mapping of Drill Core Surfaces I: A Method for μXRF Mineral Calculation and Mapping of Hydrothermally Altered, Fine-Grained Sedimentary Rocks from a Carlin-Type Gold Deposit

Rocky D. Barker et al.

Summary: This study utilized micro-X-ray fluorescence (μXRF) and linear programming (LP) to determine mineral distributions and abundances in drill core samples from Carlin-type gold deposits. The results showed that μXRF data analysis can provide accurate mineralogical structures, abundances, and textures. By comparing results from different methods and standards, the study demonstrates the significance of μXRF technology in mineralogical studies of fine-grained sedimentary rocks.

The redox dependence of titanium isotope fractionation in synthetic Ti-rich lunar melts

Laura J. A. Rzehak et al.

Summary: The equilibrium between Ti oxides and silicate melt leads to Ti isotope fractionation in terrestrial and lunar samples, with differences in valence potentially affecting Ti stable isotope fractionation during petrogenesis. Experimental results show redox-dependent Ti isotope fractionation during mare basalt petrogenesis, illustrating the importance of considering lunar environmental conditions in evaluating Ti isotope fractionation resulting from lunar magmatism.

Summary: Chang'e-5 is China's first lunar sample return mission, targeting to land in the northern Oceanus Procellarum region for various geological reasons. The Em4 mare basalts, which cover an area of 37,000 km(2) and are high-Ti basalts from the Eratosthenian age, will provide significant insights into lunar geology.

Age and composition of young basalts on the Moon, measured from samples returned by Chang'e-5

Xiaochao Che et al.

Summary: By analyzing the youngest basalt lavas on the Moon, scientists have determined their age to be 1963 million years. This finding provides important constraints on the formation history and thermal evolution of the Moon. Additionally, there is no evidence for high concentrations of heat-producing elements in the deep mantle of the Moon, suggesting the need for alternative mechanisms to explain the continuous formation of lunar magmatism.

Non-KREEP origin for Chang'e-5 basalts in the Procellarum KREEP Terrane

Heng-Ci Tian et al.

Summary: The study of basalt clasts from the PKT returned by Chang'e-5 mission reveals that these two-billion-year-old basalts are not derived from KREEP mantle source, but produced high abundances of rare-earth elements and thorium through low-degree partial melting and extensive fractional crystallization. This suggests that the KREEP association may not be a prerequisite for young mare volcanism, indicating a more sustained cooling history of the lunar interior to generate the Moon's youngest melts.
