LocationTaken at Station 10 about 100 meters southwest of the LM.
DescriptionDrive Tube 60009/60010 was taken at Station 10 bout 100 meters southwest of the LM. Samples were taken from the rim of a subdued 60 cm crater. Fragments on the surface are mostly pear sized; none are larger than a few cm. Grain sizes >1mm may have been handled less so friable fragments would be less likely to break apart.
