Fe and Mg in plagioclaseDistribution coefficients for Fe and Mg between plagioclase and basaltic liquids were measured for lunar, terrestrial and synthetic systems. The data obtained imply that lunar anorthosites crystallized from relatively iron-rich liquids, that Fe/Mg zoning in plagioclase is an indicator of crystallization processes in basaltic magmas, and that Fe/Mg heterogeneity in plagioclase is a clue to the recognition of impact melts.
