Long‐Term Radiogenic Heating by Abortively Erupted Basalts Triggers 120 Ma Lunar Volcanism

Abstract The mantle source and formation mechanism of the recently discovered ∼120 Ma lunar volcanic glass beads (VGBs) in Chang'e‐5 samples remain elusive. By systematically comparing the compositions of ∼120 Ma VGBs with those of ancient Apollo VGBs, we propose a distinctive metasomatized man...
