Breccia Boulder at Mt. Hadley Delta 2
Title
Breccia Boulder at Mt. Hadley Delta 2
Subject
Description
A photo of a unique boulder spotted on Mt. Hadley Delta. This boulder is described as "a breccia with a partial glass coating." This implies that the boulder did not originate in Mt. Hadley Delta, but rather is a remnant of the impact that formed the South Cluster. David Scott snaps this photo just before Jim Irwin takes a geological sample with his scoop (NASA).
