Scientific paper
Photographs obtained from Apollo 15 spacecraft show the Apennine lunar mountain chain which forms the southeast margin of the Mare Imbrium. The presence of stratified rocks of a pyroclastic character is evident. Questions concerning the origin of the regular stratification and the cause of the notable inclination of the strata are considered. Photographs show that the rocks which make up a spur of the Apennines, the Hardley Delta, are stratified with an inclination of approximately 20 degrees with an immersion in a direction opposite to that of the basin of the Mare Imbrium. Regularly stratified rock faces with an inclination of about 45 degrees are seen near the landing site of the lunar module at Mt. Hadley.
