Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Apollo 16 Mapping Camera.

This photo is used in Figure 10.36 of The geologic history of the Moon, USGS Professional Paper 1348, by Don E. Wilhelms, John F. McCauley, and Newell J. Trask. It has the following caption:

Plains materials superposed on Imbrium-secondary craters, probably consisting of debris dislodged and ejected by secondary impacts (Oberbeck and others, 1974) superposed on north (near-Imbrium) wall of crater Albategnius (136 km). Visibility of secondary chains buried by plains on floor is enhanced by Sun elevation, only 5° above horizontal (from right). Neukum (1977) suggested that plains postdate Imbrium and Orientale basins and are volcanic.

A cropped version was used in Figure 29-7 of the Apollo 16 Preliminary Science Report (NASA SP-315), which has the following caption:

Ghost craters on the surface of the Cayley Formation in the bottom of Albategnius Crater. Albategnius B crater is approximately 15 km across. Subdued troughs trending north-northwest may be buried Imbrium sculpture (part G of this section) (Apollo 16 metric camera frame 0449). The Cayley Formation may be mantling fresh craters to produce a subdued flatbottomed bowl shape.
