Spectrally distinct mare deposits within the Tranquillitatis and Serenitatis basins exhibit a complex sequence of basalt emplacement representing a detailed record of lunar volcanism on the eastern limb. High spatial resolution ultraviolet-visible (UVVIS) Clementine imagery has been used to investigate the spectral properties of mare craters whose deposits suggest the excavation of compositionally distinct subsurface units. Previous interpretations of such spectrally anomalous crater materials have been hampered by the lack of diagnostic information to distinguish immature basalt regoliths. Clementine data and coordinated sample analyses are combined to investigate the stratigraphic implications of such crater materials. Results provide insight into the sequence of basalt emplacement within the two adjacent basins as well as initial investigations into the spectral properties of freshly exposed mare materials.
