Lunar Sample 15250

MissionApollo 15
Lithologysoil
LocationCollected from the east rim of a 1m crater approximately 20 m southeast and upslope from the LRV at Station 6.
DescriptionSample collected from the east rim of a 1m crater approximately 20 m southeast and upslope from the LRV at Station 6. The crater is marked by a concentration of fragments, primarily clods up to 10 cm in diameter, on an otherwise smooth, finely granular surface. It was described by the crew as a "fresh little crater" and it is superposed on the south wall of a subdued 3 m crater which has no visible ejecta material around it. Sample 15240 is collected from the floor of the same 1 m crater.
