Bersch, M.G., Taylor, G.J., Keil, K. and Norman, M.D. (1991). Mineral compositions in pristine lunar highland rocks and the diversity of highland magmatism. Geophysical Research Letters 18: doi: 10.1029/91GL02540. issn: 0094-8276.

High precision electron microprobe analyses of olivine and pyroxene in pristine lunar highland rocks confirm the dichotomy between ferroan anorthosites and the Mg-suite. Ferroan-anorthosites plot as coherent trends, consistent with formation in a complex global magma system. Lack of coherent compositional trends in the Mg-suite rocks indicates derivation from numerous magmas. ¿American Geophysical Union 1991
