Abstract
The distribution of trace elements (Rb, Sr, Y, Zr, Nb) in various type s of lunar mare basalts has been investigated by SR-XFA. The new data of Apollo 11, Apollo 12, and Apollo 15 and also our earlier published data of other mare basalts have been discussed. Geochemical groups and trends for rocks of various titanium content were distinguished on th e basis of diagrams of Zr vs. Sr and of Y vs. Zr. The problem regardin g the magmatic sources of various types of lunar basalts has been cons idered.
