1944 J. E. Spurr Geol. applied to Selenol. II. iv. 20 The differently colored formations which largely make up the marking of the lunar ‘map’ have, in the Imbrian study (volume I), been interpreted as probably corresponding to two main types of terrestrial rock: the light-gray ‘uplands’ as siliceous, the dark mare as basic or basaltic... In future descriptions the light-colored rocks may be called lunarite.

1966 Earth Sci. Rev. I. 231 Spurr (1944) gave the name ‘lunarite’ to the more highly reflective parts [of the moon's surface], and the name ‘lunabase’ to the darker parts. Large areas of lunarite are referred to as ‘continents’, and specific areas of lunabase are called ‘maria’.

1967 New Scientist 2 Feb. 263/3 In a few places the lunarite [lava] flows seem to dip under the lunabase of the surrounding plain, indicating that the lunarite and lunabase flows may at an early time have been contemporaneous.
