The lunar meteorites have been valuable sources for understanding the evolution of the Moon's crust, because each meteorite could potentially provide a new insight into the thermal history of unexplored regions on the Moon. In spite of their scientific interests, chronological studies of lunar basaltic meteorites have not been well understood, since the most of basaltic meteorites are brecciated and consist of mixtures of materials with different origins. We report here the in-situ U-Pb dating of phosphates in four Very-Low-Ti and three Low-Ti lunar meteorites by Sensitive High Resolution Ion Microprobe (SHRIMP).
