Lithologysoil
LocationCollected during the LRV traverse between Station 1 and 2
DescriptionThis soil was collected during the LRV traverse between Station 1 and 2 on the "prong" or very faint extension of the white mantle of a crater rim. The sample area is undulating, and fragments greater than 10 cm are rare. The ground surface is patterned in a "raindrop" texture. This sample is very cohesive.
