Geologic map of the Wichmann CA region of the Moon, Lunar Orbiter Site III P-11, Oceanus Procellarum including Apollo landing sites 4 and 4R Geologic map of the Wichmann CA region of the Moon, Lunar Orbiter Site III P-11, Oceanus Procellarum including Apollo landing sites 4 and 4R
This map shows the geology in and around two potential early Apollo landing sites in the equatorial belt. The Wichmann CA region is in the Oceanus Procellarum, south of the equator, approximately 320 km south of the crater Kepler. It is covered by mare material with numerous ridges, low domes, craters, and crater clusters. Relatively few of the craters are larger than 200 m across. Terra...
Geologic maps of the Apennine-Hadley region of the Moon Apollo 15 pre-mission maps Geologic maps of the Apennine-Hadley region of the Moon Apollo 15 pre-mission maps
This map shows the regional setting of the landing site for the Apollo 15 mission. The area lies approximately 650 km southeast of the center of the Imbrium basin, a large basalt-filled multi-ringed structure in the northwest quadrant of the Moon’s near side. Several arcuate structures surround the Imbrium basin (Hartmann and Kuiper, 1962). The most prominent of these forms the northwest...
Map showing locations of samples dated by radiocarbon methods in the San Francisco Bay region Map showing locations of samples dated by radiocarbon methods in the San Francisco Bay region
Radiocarbon dating is an important interdisciplinary tool for studies involving events and processes during the last 40,000 years of earth history, including studies involving marine transgressions and regressions, land subsidence, climatic changes, sedimentation rates and patterns, fault movements, and archaeology, among others. The potential value of a radiocarbon date is diminished...
