The very low titanium (VLT), low titanium (LT) and titanium (T) basalt
s of the Eastern part of the Moon were investigated by SR-XFA and INAA
methods. New intermediate VLT-LT basalt groups were distinguished on
the basis of titanium contents, REE patterns and trace element distrib
utions. Ah basalt groups were compared and conclusions about possible
sources of these basalts and their origin were drawn.
