The Nectaris basin is a major multiringed impact structure located on the eastern portion of the lunar nearside. The eastern Nectaris region contains a number of interesting geologic units of uncertain composition and origin. These include dark mantle deposits, dark halo craters and possible calderas. In order to better understand these features, we have been conducting geologic and remote sensing studies of this region. In this study, we have used new Galileo and Clementine multispectral images as well as other remote sensing data in an effort to: (1) determine the origin and composition of the dark mantle deposits in the region, (2) investigate the processes responsible for the emplacement of the dark mantle material, (3) explore the relationships among the dark mantling materials and the mare basalt deposits in Nectaris, and (4) determine the composition and origin of highlands units in the eastern Nectaris region.
