Revisiting the field geology of Taurus–Littrow
Integration of Apollo 17 field observations and photographs, sample investigations, Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera images, Chandrayaan-1 Moon Mineralogy Mapper (M 3 ) spectra, and Miniature Radio Frequency (Mini-RF) S-band radar images provides new insights into the geology of the valley of Taurus– Littrow on the Moon. Connecting the various remote observations to sample data enables a set...

متن کاملMarius Hills: Morphometry, Rheology, and Mode of Emplacement
Mare domes are smooth low features with gentle convex upward profiles. Isolated domes may be found in almost all maria, but significant concentrations occur in the Hortensius/Milichius/T. Mayer region, Oceanus Procellarum, and Mare Tranquillitatis [1]. The Marius Hills in Oceanus Procellarum represent the lunar region in which domes are most abundant. The surface material of the complex has bee...
متن کاملThe Sculptured Hills of the Taurus Highlands: Implications for the relative age of Serenitatis, basin chronologies and the cratering history of the Moon
[1] New images from the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera show the distribution and geological relations of the Sculptured Hills, a geological unit widespread in the highlands between the Serenitatis and Crisium basins. The Sculptured Hills shows knobby, undulating, radially textured, and plains-like morphologies and in many places is indistinguishable from the similarly knobby Alpes Formatio...
متن کاملCompositional variability of the Marius Hills volcanic complex from the Moon Mineralogy Mapper (M)
[1] Using the Moon Mineralogy Mapper(M), we examine the Marius Hills volcanic complex for the first time from 0.46 to 2.97 mm. The integrated band depth at 1 mm separates the mare basalts on the plateau in two units: (1) a strong 1 mm band unit of localized lava flows within the plateau that has similar olivine‐rich signatures to those of the nearby Oceanus Procellarum and (2) a weaker 1 mm ban...
