Abstract
It is well known that there was heavy meteoritic bombardment of the lunar surface around 3.9 Ga (lunar terminal cataclysm [1]), not only resulting in excavation of crustal rocks but also triggering mare basalt volcanism. Plagioclase is the main constituent of the lunar crust, which is considered a product of a primordial Moon-wide “magma ocean” [2], an outer layer that was partially molten to a depth of several hundred kilometers. Because of the key role of plagioclase in the U-Th-Pb systematics of lunar highland rocks and mare basalts, it is important to understand the mobility of volatile lead in plagioclase during shock metamorphism. Almost all of the samples recovered from the Apollo and Luna missions have experienced shock metamorphism. With increasing shock intensity, plagioclase converts to the isotropic glass, “maskelynite,” which is ubiquitously observed in highland rocks and mare basalts.
