As shown by the 1998 Lunar Prospector mission, KREEP is not distributed evenly around the Moon.
Although Procellarum is both very large and has lots of KREEP, other significant mare deposits occur in zones strongly depleted in such material.
Scientists have found more than 150 lunar meteorites from places outside the
KREEP terrain, coming from perhaps 60 different spots on the Moon.
Graham Ryder (Lunar and Planetary Institute) and his colleagues at the Johnson Space Center in Houston argue that this
KREEP is shocked ray material excavated from the Apennine Bench by Autolycus.
The shorthand designation for this unusual composition is KREEP, showing that at least some lunar scientists have a sense of humor.
The Apennine Bench area KREEP is igneous rock that erupted onto the lunar surface about 3.84 billion years ago, soon after the formation of the Imbrium basin.
