The Timeline of Early Lunar Bombardment Constrained by the Evolving Distributions of Differently Aged Melt

The timeline of the early lunar bombardment remains unclear. The bombardment rate as a function of time is commonly modeled by three types of shapes: tail-end, sawtooth, and terminal cataclysm. Differently aged melt records the occurrence time of impact events and thus is crucial for constraining th...
