Scientific paper

The evolution, geology, geochemistry and topology of the Flamsteed region of Oceanus Procellarum are examined, considering remote sensing data including multispectral images and spectral reflectance measurements along with crater degradation studies and radar backscatter. Seven spectrally distinct basaltic units ranging in age from 2.5 plus or minus 0.5 to 3.5 plus or minus 0.5 billion years have been identified. The earliest units of the mapped area are composed of highlands material and include partially flooded impact craters, and the oldest surface exposed mare basalts are very low Ti basalts of the Telemann formation.
