Summary

[edit]
Description
English: The central portion of this photo is used in Figure 29-39 of the Apollo 16 Preliminary Science Report (NASA SP-315), which has the following caption:
Area around Fra Mauro Crater (left center). 1, ridge-forming hills; 2, Rima Parry; 3, typical sculpture; 4, elongate hills surrounded b y mare material (north toward top).

The text of the Report describes the figure as follows:

In figure 29-39, a series of elongate hills forms a linear ridge extending approximately 100 km along the east side of Fra Mauro Crater. The ridge is radial to the Imbrium Basin (approximately 500 km to the north) and parallels Rima Parry, a large linear rille presumably of structural origin. Toward the south, the ridge o f hills grades into typically sculptured topography. Smaller, isolated, oval-shaped hills project above the mare material to the east. All these hills resemble constructional landforms, probably formed by a combination of faulting and volcanism. A similar origin is suggested for Imbrium sculpture in this region.
