Abstract: The mineral apatite (Ca5 (PO4)3(F, Cl, OH)) is known for its ability to constrain the petrogenesis of the rock in which it is hosted and for its ubiquity throughout the Solar System, as it is found in lunar, martian, and terrestrial rocks alike (McCubbin et. al, 2015). The abundance of volatile elements, and for this particular study, the elevated abundance of sulfur (S2-) in high-Al basalt samples bearing apatite, could provide more insight for inquiries posed about the behavior of volatiles…
