DescriptionThis surface soil was collected 3 meters from the deep core site on the rim of an 8 meter blocky crater at the ALSEP. The sample area is flat and level with 2-3% block cover. Craters 10 cm to 1 meter in size are common, the fines are rather loose at the sample site on the rim of a .5 meter crater. This soil was collected with 70185, an 8 cm vuggy basalt.
