Lunar Layers crops
Graphic caption: Contrast-enhanced images of layered lunar blocks from LROC camera near Aristarchus Crater. Crops from LROC image M120161915LE, scale bars as shown (wms.lroc.asu.edu/lroc_browse/view/M120161915LE).
These stratiated blocks were presented in a talk by Mike Zanetti and coworkers at the Lunar Planetary Science Conference 2011, Abstract 2622: www.lpi.usra.edu/meetings/lpsc2011/pdf/2262.pdf
