Description

Mare humorum hosts numerous small craters (< 10 KM diameter) which provide an excellent opportunity to probe the physical structure of the near-surface volcanic materials and to gain new insight into both the impact cratering process and lunar volcanism. Recent updates to the rock abundance (RA) dataset which includes the full temporal range of the lunar reconnaissance orbiter diviner [1] have revealed nuances in the distribution of 1 M and larger rocks in mare humorum. The surface in general is peppered with small rocky craters. Most of humorum's craters have a rock abundance signature in the ejecta [2] however many large craters on mare humorum feature rock-poor halos. Radar-dark halo craters previously identified in mare humorum [3] also have rock-poor halos in RA. Small superimposed craters may be the key to understanding evolution and formation processes.
