Answer: Anorthosite

Step-by-step explanation:

Anorthosite is an important rock type of the lunar highlands and probably formed the primitive lunar crust. This sample has been determined to be 4.19 billion years old by the Argon method of dating. This date corresponds to the formation of a large lunar impact basin from which the rock was thrown.
