Abstract
Mineralogical, geochemical, isotopic compositions and cosmic-ray exposure history, combined with the orbital data revealed that Antarctic lunar meteorites, Yamato-793169, Asuka-881757, Meteorites Hills 01210, and Miller Range 05035 represent the first ground truth of lunar cryptomaria, originated from the 3870 Ma-aged basalt flow buried beneath the floor of the Schickard crater on the nearside of the Moon.
