Characterizing the Effect of Shock on Isotopic Ages I: Ferroan Anorthosite Major ElementsA study underway at Marshall Space Flight Center is further characterizing the effects of shock on isotopic ages. The study was inspired by the work of L. Nyquist et al. [1, 2], but goes beyond their work by investigating the spatial distribution of elements in lunar ferroan anorthosites (FANs) and magnesium-suite (Mg-suite) rocks in order to understand the processes that may influence the radioisotope ages obtained on early lunar samples. This paper discusses the first data set (major elements) obtained on FANs 62236 and 67075.
