Fig. 1

Large clasts of mare basalts (a, b), noritic anorthosite (c), norite (d) and breccia (e, f) are shown. Orange circles (~8 µm in diameter) mark laser ablation spots for sulfur isotope analyses, with corresponding δ³⁴S values labeled. The Mg# of clinopyroxene (Cpx) and orthopyroxene (Opx) closely associated with troilites and An# of plagioclase in anorthositic norite are also indicated. Tro troilite, Pl plagioclase, Cpx clinopyroxene, Opx orthopyroxene, Ap apatite, Ilm ilmenite.
