Abstract A centimeter-sized fragment of dunite, the first recognized fragment of Moon mantle material, has been discovered in the lunar highlands breccia meteorite Northwest Africa (NWA) 11421. The dunite consists of 95% olivine (Fo83), with low-Ca and high-Ca pyroxenes, plagioclase, and chrome spinel. Mineral compositions vary little across the clast and are consistent with chemical equilibration. Mineral thermobarometry implies that the dunite equilibrated at 980 ± 20 °C and 0.4 ± 0.1 gigapascal (GPa) pressure. The pressure at the base of the Moon’s crust (density 2550 kg/m3) is 0.14–0.18 GPa, so the dunite equilibrated well into the Moon’s upper mantle. Assuming a mantle density of 3400 kg/m3, the dunite equilibrated at a depth of 88 ± 22 km. Its temperature and depth of equilibration are consistent with the calculated present-day selenotherm (i.e., lunar geotherm). The dunite’s composition, calculated from mineral analyses and proportions, contains less Al, Ti, etc., than chondritic material, implying that it is of a differentiated mantle (including cumulates from a lunar magma ocean). The absence of phases containing P, Zr, etc., suggests minimal involvement of a KREEP component, and the low proportion of Ti suggests minimal interaction with late melt fractionates from a lunar magma ocean. The Mg/Fe ratio of the dunite (Fo83) is significantly lower than models of an overturned unmixed mantle would suggest, but is consistent with estimates of the bulk composition of the Moon’s mantle.

Abstract Grain-scale pore geometry primarily controls the fluid distribution in rocks, affecting material transport and geophysical response. The dihedral angle (θ) in the olivine-fluid system is a key parameter determining pore fluid geometry in mantle wedges. In the system, curved and faceted olivine-fluid interfaces define θ, resulting in faceted-faceted (FF), faceted-curved (FC), and curved-curved (CC) angles. The efect of faceting on θ under various pressure and temperature (P-T) conditions and fluid compositions, however, has not been constrained, and mineralogical understanding remains unresolved. This study evaluated facet-bearing θ and their proportions in olivine-multicomponent aqueous fluid systems. Our results show that 1/3 of olivine-fluid θ are facet-bearing angles, regardless of the P-T conditions and fluid composition. Faceting produces larger dihedral angles than CC angles. The grain boundary plane (GBP) distribution reveals that the GBPs of faceted interfaces at triple junctions have low Miller index faces ({100}, {010}, and {101}). The misorientation angle/axis distributions of adjacent grain pairs are in accord with a theoretical distribution of random olivine aggregate. Moreover, the calculation of the FF angles for adjacent grain pairs with low Miller index GBPs reproduces measured angle values based on the olivine crystal habit. Therefore, our study suggests that the FF angle is strongly afected by olivine crystallography. The presence of faceting increases θ and a critical fluid fraction (φc) for percolation, lowering permeability. In the mantle wedge, where olivine crystallographic preferred orientation (CPO) is expected owing to corner flow, increasing the FF angle proportion with associated changes in fluid pore morphology will lead to permeability anisotropy, and controlling the direction of the fluid flow, and it will result in geophysical anomalies such as seismic wave attenuation and high electrical conductivity.
