Scientific paper

As part of an ongoing study of volcanism on the lunar far side, the authors are studying the geologically diverse eastern limb of the moon. The eastern limb region has been documented by a variety of remote sensing techniques: Lunar Orbiter and Apollo images, Apollo X-ray and gamma-ray data, and Clementine gravity, topography, and multispectral images. A comprehensive study of the geology of the eastern limb of the moon, 10-30 deg N latitude and 70-100 deg E longitude, was conducted using Clementine, Lunar Orbiter, and Apollo data. Prominent features within this region are the Smythii (2 deg S, 87 deg; 750 km diameter) and Mariginis (20 deg N, 84 deg E) Basins. Highlands dominate the exterior of the two basins, while mare are concentrated within the basin interiors and in depressions produced by the large impact craters Neper, Hubble, Joliot, and Lomonosov. The geology of these two basins is examined in this paper.
