Lunar Sample 72320

| Lithology | soil |
| Location | Collected at Station 2, near the base of the South Massif |
| Description | 72320 was collected at Station 2, near the base of the South Massif. This "shadowed soil" collected about 20 cm under the east - west overhang of a 2 meter diameter boulder. The sample area is a strewn boulder field with boulders up to 2 meters across common. Craters up to 10 cm are abundant in the immediate sample area. The soil probably does not have as complex an exposure history as rake sample 72500 because of the protection from the rock overhang. |
