The most recent results from a project to find and describe pristine (that is, compositionally endogenous) nonmare rocks are reported. Sixteen nonmare samples are characterized petrographically and by composition, among them numerous key trace elements (siderophiles, incompatibles). Current knowledge about nonmare lunar rocks is surveyed, with emphasis placed on correlations between geochemistry and longitude. Several systematic differences between western ANT (that is, nonKREEPy, nonmare) rocks and the much more thoroughly studied eastern ANT rocks are noted. It is noted that western ANT rocks, whether pristine or nonpristine, tend to have higher Eu/Sm than their eastern counterparts. Pristine western ANT rocks, however, tend to have lower Sc/Sm and Ti/Sm than pristine eastern ANT rocks.
