Our experimentally determined ilmenite-melt isotopic fractionations for Fe and Ti indicate that ilmenite would most likely be isotopically lighter than co-existing melt at lunar conditions (e.g., Δ 56 Fe = ilmenite-melt − 0.05 ± 0.02 ‰ and Δ 49 Ti = ilmenite-melt − 0.09 ± 0.03 ‰ at 1100 ∘ C). For Fe, we found that the chemistry of ...
