Lithologysoil
LocationCollected from the compressed wheel track behind the LRV which was parked on a slope of 10-15 degrees toward the north.
DescriptionSample was a large soil sample collected from the compressed wheel track behind the LRV which was parked on a slope of 10-15 degres toward the north. The adjacent undisturbed soil surface appears to be typical of the coarsely granular texture at Station 6. The immediate vicinity is 5-7% covered by centimeter size clods, and is lacking in fresh craters or coherent looking rock fragments.
