Abstract
Old igneous rocks plus evidence for a cool interior suggest cold accumulation and fusion of a thin surface layer by the early “superluminous” phase of the Sun. This melted layer, estimated from crater slumping to be 5–6 km thick, filled collision craters to form “mascons”. Fusion of the surface and accumulating material explains the scarcity of volatile elements.
