Scientific paper

Domes are analogous to the terrestrial shield volcanoes and are among the important volcanic features found on the lunar surface indicative of effusive vents of primary volcanism within Mare regions. Marius Hills Complex (MHC) is one of the most important regions on the entire lunar surface, having a complex geological setting and largest distribution of volcanic constructs with an abundant number of volcanic features like domes, cones and rilles. The mineralogical study of an effusive dome located in the south of Rima Galilaei, near the contact of Imbrian and Eratosthenian geological units is done using hyperspectral band parameters and spectral plots so as to understand the compositional variation, the nature of the volcanism and relate it to the rheology of the dome.
