Summary

[edit]
Description

Apollo 16 Hasselblad image from film magazine 108/I - EVA-2. Soil samples 69920 and 69940 were collected from the shade cast by the small boulder. Soil sample 69960 was collected from under the boulder after is was rolled over. 69920 was called a “skim soil”, because it was collected from the top 1 cm. 69940 was collected beneath 69920. Rock samples 69935 (breccia) is from the top of the boulder and 69955 (cataclastic anorthosite) is from the bottom of the boulder. This boulder is thought to be from South Ray crater, because it is perched, without a fillet, on the regolith. Boulder is about 0.5 meter in size.
This photo is used in Figure 4-26 of the Apollo 16 Preliminary Science Report (NASA SP-315), which has the following caption:

Much of the activity at station 9 occurred near the boulder shown in this photograph. This boulder is a breccia, a rock made up of fragments of other rocks. At least three different types of rock fragments or clasts can be identified in this boulder. The scoop marks an area near which soil has been collected. The CDR can be seen in the right margin of the photograph. The cuff checklist is on his left arm; sample bags and the Hasselblad camera hang from the remote control unit. The knee pocket produces the rectangular outline. The LRV stands on the near horizon.
