Abstract–Miller Range (MIL) 13317 is a heterogeneous -bearing lunar regolith breccia that provides insights into the early magmatic history of the Moon. MIL 13317 is formed from a mixture of material with clasts having an affinity to Apollo ferroan anorthosites and basaltic volcanic rocks. data indicate that MIL 13317 was consolidated into a breccia between 2610 Æ 780 Ma and 1570 Æ 470 Ma where it experienced a complex near- surface irradiation history for ~835 Æ 84 Myr, at an average depth of ~30 cm. The fusion crust has an intermediate composition (Al2O3 15.9 wt%; FeO 12.3 wt%) with an added incompatible trace element (Th 5.4 ppm) chemical component. Taking the fusion crust to be indicative of the bulk sample composition, this implies that MIL 13317 originated from a regolith that is associated with a mare-highland boundary that is KREEP-rich (i.e., K, rare earth elements, and P). A comparison of bulk chemical data from MIL 13317 with remote sensing data from the Lunar orbiter suggests that MIL 13317 likely originated from the northwest region of Procellarum, east of Mare Nubium, or at the eastern edge of Mare Frigoris. All these potential source areas are on the near side of the Moon, indicating a close association with the Procellarum KREEP Terrane. Basalt clasts in MIL 13317 are from a very low-Ti to low-Ti (between 0.14 and 0.32 wt%) source region. The similar mineral fractionation trends of the different basalt clasts in the sample suggest they are comagmatic in origin. Zircon-bearing phases and Ca-phosphate grains in basalt clasts and matrix grains yield 207Pb/206Pb ages between 4344 Æ 4 and 4333 Æ 5 Ma. These ancient 207Pb/206Pb ages indicate that the meteorite has sampled a range of Pre-Nectarian volcanic rocks that are poorly represented in the Apollo, Luna, and collections. As such, MIL 13317 adds to the growing evidence that basaltic volcanic activity on the Moon started as early as ~4340 Ma, before the main period of basalt volcanism at ~3850 Ma.

INTRODUCTION basaltic volcanism is currently unknown, although the majority of the Apollo mare erupted between Determining the distribution and duration of ~3850 and ~3200 Ma (Head 1976; Head and Wilson ancient lunar volcanism is vital to our understanding of 1992; Nyquist and Shih 1992; Stoffler€ and Ryder 2001; the early evolution of the interior and thermal history Hiesinger et al. 2003). Ancient lunar volcanism of the Moon, and in the wider context of volcanism on (>3900 Ma) has been documented in the Apollo sample other planetary bodies. The products of these volcanic collection by KREEP basalt fragments (Ryder and eruptions infilled large impact basins, most of which are Spudis 1980; Taylor et al. 1983; Terada et al. 2007) and situated on the lunar near side.

which features FeO and Th abundances in bins of 2° equal area per pixel have been used to identify areas of the lunar regolith showing compositional similarities to MIL 13317 (Fig. 12). A range of FeO (9.6–12.3 wt%, Table 1) and Th (4.6–5.4 ppm) was used to account for compositional heterogeneities between sample subsplits. Regions with similar FeO contents to MIL 13317 (red pixels, Fig. 12) are located mainly in the Procellarum KREEP Terrane (PKT) and a few outcrops in the South Pole–Aitken basin region. However, the high-Th content (blue pixels, Fig. 12) constrains MIL 13317 to the near side of the Moon with matches for the Th content only outcropping in the PKT region. The overlap of both the FeO and Th contents of MIL 13317 (green pixels, Fig. 12) occurs only in a few locations in the near side PKT region. These locations, where the FeO and Th content overlaps, are the most likely source regions of MIL 13317. Regions on the Moon that are most similar in composition to MIL 13317 (i.e., the green pixels in Fig. 12), include the northwest region of , the eastern edge of Mare Frigoris, and to the east and northeast of Mare Nubium. Crater counting data sets from basalt surface units of these two regions (Hiesinger et al. 2003, 2010) indicate that the lava flows are no more than ~3700 Ma. This suggests that if MIL 13317 originates from one of these regions, then the basalt component in MIL 13317 represents ancient cryptomare basalts that were buried by subsequent lava flows and/or impact ejecta within the PKT (e.g., Head and Wilson 1992).

Relationship to Other Lunar Meteorites

Differences to Other Miller Range Lunar Meteorites MIL 13317 is the seventh lunar meteorite found in the Miller Range region of Antarctica to date. Other Miller Range brecciated meteorites include MIL 090036 and the grouped MIL 090034/090070/090075 (MIL 09 group) stones, which are feldspathic regolith breccias grouped on the basis of their chemical composition and petrography (Korotev et al. 2011; Zeigler et al. 2012), and exposure ages (Nishiizumi and Caffee 2013). The lack of basaltic material in the group of MIL 09 samples (Liu et al. 2011; Korotev and Zeigler 2014; Calzada-Diaz et al. 2015; Martin et al. 2017), and low bulk rock Th and KREEP-rich elements suggest that they are unlikely to be source paired with MIL 13317 (supporting information Fig. S5a).

Analysis of the two (2016) for matrix phosphate and zircon-bearing phases subsplits of MIL 13317 yields exposure ages that range (4351 Æ 9Ma) in a separate thin section (MIL 13317,5) of from 71 Æ 28 to 2860 Æ 74 Myr (supporting information the same meteorite.

Similarly, the FANs have been associated with rocks Without a clearer understanding of the Moon’s impact typical of the feldspathic lunar highlands. However, history, and a resolution to the long-standing debate feldspathic lunar meteorites, which represent a more surrounding the potential ~3900 Ma lunar cataclysm global sampling of the feldspathic lunar highlands, (Bottke and Norman [2017] and references therein; generally lack Apollo-like FAN, KREEP, and HMS Morbidelli et al.

Based on comparisons with this suggestion. remote sensing data (Fig. 12), our best estimate is that the MIL 13317 meteorite is derived from the edge of the Was There a Single Magmatic Source for Basalt PKT on the lunar near side.

Pyroxene in basalt clasts show a typical systematics for plagioclase from granulitic Clast 12 fractionation trend for lunar basalts of increasing Fe# overlap with that of plagioclase from Clast 5 (Eu/ (atomic Fe/Fe + Mg, Fe# of 0.40–0.99) with increasing Eu*=15.83; [La/Sm]CI = 1.77) and are also similar to the Ti# (atomic Ti/Ti + Cr, Ti# of 0.25 to 1) (Fig. 4b).

Thus, 2008; Elkins-Tanton and Bercovici 2014). VLT and low-Ti basaltic volcanism on the Moon The relationship between high-Al abundances in the recorded by lunar meteorites extended across 1.4 billion earliest >4300 Ma volcanism is also intriguing. High-Al years, from ~4330 to ~2930 Ma (recorded by young lunar abundances in Apollo 14 basalts have been modeled via meteorite NWA 032: Borg et al. 2009). The ancient ages assimilation fractional crystallization, where the assimilant of MIL 13317 places it among the oldest suite of lunar was a high-Al granitic component either added during basalt samples, including the Apollo 14 high-Al basalts ascent (Neal and Kramer 2006; Hallis et al. 2014) or via (Taylor et al. 1983; Snyder and Taylor 2001), Apollo 17 thermal erosion of the underlying regolith during the flow KREEP basalts (Nyquist et al. 1975; Shih et al. 1992), of lava across the lunar surface (Hui et al. 2011). However, and the high-Al, VLT lunar meteorite Kalahari 009 both MIL 13317 and Kalahari basalts are KREEP-poor (Terada et al. 2007; Shih et al. 2008; Sokol et al. 2008; (Terada et al. 2007; Snape et al. 2018; this study), and the Snape et al. 2018) (Fig. 13c). Observations from the high-Al component instead could have been contributed Apollo suite (e.g., Nyquist and Shih 1992) indicate a from assimilation of ITE-poor ferroan anorthositic crust. correlation between the age of the basalt and Ti-content, There are challenges with assimilating such refractory with older mare basalts (e.g., basalts; ~3900 to materials into early lunar VLT/low-Ti mafic magmas 3500 Ma) having higher Ti-content, and the younger (Finnila et al. 1994) during magma chamber storage (Neal basalts (e.g., , ~3400 to 3200 Ma; et al. 1988; Head and Wilson 1992) or dyke conduit ~3200 Ma) having more intermediate to lower Ti-content magma transport (Andrews-Hanna et al. 2013). For (Fig. 13a). Using the method of Robinson et al.

Thus, anorthitic FAN-like plagioclase dissolution meteorites tend to have some of the lowest Ti-contents by a mare basaltic melt might be thermodynamically and highest Al-contents of all lunar sampled basalts challenging.
