Summary

Description

Apollo 17 Hasselblad image from film magazine 137/C - EVA-2.
This photo was used in Figure 6-60 of the Apollo 17 Preliminary Science Report (NASA SP-330, 1973), which has the following caption:

North-looking photograph showing orange glass material and light-gray fragmental material exposed in trench on rim crest of Shorty Crater. Short lines indicate more prominent fractures in the orange glass material.

Part of the text of the report referring to the figure is as follows:

A trench exposed an 80-cm-wide orange zone that trends parallel to the crater rim crest for several meters. The orange soil is markedly coherent as shown by the systematic fractures in the trench wall (fig. 6-60). It is also zoned; a wide central reddish zone, now known to consist largely of small red and orange glass spheres and fragments, grades laterally to marginal yellowish zones ~ 10 cm wide (fig. 6-61). The yellowish zones in turn are in sharp steep contact with light-gray fragmental material that is probably typical of the Shorty Crater rim.
