Lithology | regolith breccia |
Location | It was one of several breccias, all similar, collected at station 6, near Spur carter, part way up the slope of Hadley-Delta; collected along with soil samples upslope (south) about 10 or 15 m from the LRV. |
Description | Glassy matrix regolith breccia with conspicuous white clasts and vesicular glass veins. It was distinctive because of its large size and angularity, and because it had a fillet on its uphill side. It is medium light gray, tough, and penetrated with glass. It has a few zap pits on some surfaces. |
