“…When coupled to the temporal record of their delivery (e.g., time of impact), these samples help to provide better geochemical and chronological constraints for models of Solar System dynamics (e.g., Gomes et al, 2005;Morbidelli et al, 2005;Tsiganis et al, 2005;Bottke et al, 2007;Levison et al, 2009;Jørgensen et al, 2009;Malhotra, 2009, 2010), and causes of impact spikes to the Earth-Moon system (Turner et al, 1973;Tera et al, 1974;Ryder, 1993, 1996;Cohen et al, 2000;Kring and Cohen, 2002;Strom et al, 2005;Norman et al, 2006;Cuk et al, 2010). The integration of geochemical and chronological evidence from lunar samples, therefore, informs our understanding of the evolution of the Earth-Moon system, and the wider inner Solar System.…”
