Is the Age of the Moon;s South Pole Aitken Basin Preserved in Lunar Meteorite Northwest Africa 2995?
Abstract
Lunar meteorite NWA 2995 is a fragmental breccia. Zircon and apatite in the meteorite have dates of ~4.32-4.33 Ga. The meteorite is compositionally akin to the South Pole Aitken basin and we propose that this could support that the SPA was formed at ~4.32 Ga.
