The Chlorine Isotope Composition of the Moon and Implications for an Anhydrous Mantle
Abstract
Over the Moon: Based on recent analyses of lunar rocks, it has been argued that the lunar interior contained much more water than previously thought. Sharp et al. (p. 1050 , published online 5 August) measured the chlorine isotope content of lunar samples returned by the Apollo missions and found that the spread in their chlorine isotope composition is 25-fold greater than for rocks and minerals that have been measured from Earth and meteorites. This result implies that the hydrogen content of the Moon (and therefore its water content) is much lower than suggested by recent studies.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
