Lunar Sample 66040

MissionApollo 16
Lithologysoil
Locationcollected at Station 6, on a 10 meter crater rim near the base of Stone Mountain
DescriptionSoils 66040 and 66030 and breccia 66055 were collected at the same location at Station 6. It is supposed that the breccia is local ejecta, but the source crater is not obvious. In the sample area 15-30 cm blocks are relatively common, soil is relatively firm compared to the looser regolith at Stations 4 and 5. Craters in the area are mostly <5 meters.
