I was finally able to put a finger on what has been bothering me with the most recent press release about Kalahari 009. I do not see how it can be called a "Mare" basalt. Everything I have read suggests that "Mare" Basalts can be no older than 3.9 billion years. Kalahari 009's 4.35 billion year old age would exclude it from be considered a "Mare" from everything I have learned. Perhaps somebody more knowledgeable than I can enlighten me on this subject? To me, it is a very old Basalt, nothing more, nothing less.
