The comparative behaviour of apatite-zircon U-Pb systems in Apollo 14 breccias: implications for the thermal history of the Fra Mauro Formation

We report secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) U-Pb analyses of zircon and apatite from four breccia samples from the Apollo 14 landing site. The zircon and apatite grains occur as cogenetic minerals in lithic clasts in two of the breccias and as unrelated mineral clasts in the matrices of the oth...
