Using Lunar Granulites to Constrain Re‐Equilibration Timescales of Contact Thermal Metamorphism on the Moon

Abstract: Rocks of the lunar granulite suite are the product of high‐temperature metamorphism within the Moon's crust. However, to date, their formation conditions have few constraints. Here, we combine Ti‐in‐pyroxene element diffusion modeling and two‐pyroxene thermometry with thermal modeling of the lunar crust in order to assess potential heat sources that could generate granulite metamorphism within the lunar highland crust. For the samples investigated in this study, the pyroxene crystals experienced peak metamorph… Show more
