Description | Soil 15470 and basalts 15475, 15476 and gabbro 15495 were collected at Station 4, 28 m southeast of the rim crest of Dune crater. The surface surrounding the samples has a moderate cover of fragments, small craters in the sample area are sparse. Two large fragments in the sample were excluded from grain size analysis. It has been studied for its magnetic properties, but has not been dated. The orientation of 15495 was documented by photographs, but there are micrometeorite craters on S, T, B and E surfaces indicating that the rock has rolled. |
