Abstract
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.
