Total posts from Wrinkle Ridge 61 Search Littered Wrinkles LROC NAC image M1144863959L of portion of a wrinkle ridge found in Mare Nubium. The crest and side of the ridge is lined with high reflectance boulders, likely eroded from the fractured basalts that make up the ridge. Image width is ~3 km, North is up [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University]. Published on 14 Aug 2014 Dorsum Nicol This tectonic feature was formed as stresses built up in the lunar crust until the rock gave way. The energy released was immense, and the displaced rock is the north-south trending wrinkle ridge that we see today. This is LROC NAC image M1105773947LR with a slope map overlaid, warmer colors in the image represent steeper slopes. Image is 4765 m wide; north is up [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University]. Published on 17 Jul 2014 Elongated Crater Full resolution LROC NAC M155084711R showing the northeastern wall and floor of Arago E crater. The floor is peppered with rocks that tumbled down the crater wall. In this image North is up, image width is ~0.5 miles (800 m) [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University]. Published on 01 May 2014 Faulted Kipuka This striking mountain within Mare Imbrium was altered at its base by the formation of a lobate scarp. A wrinkle ridge runs into the base of the mountain (bottom right). Image width is approximately 4.5 km. LROC NAC image M1098943917R [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University]. Published on 20 Mar 2014 Wrinkled, But How Old? LROC NAC image M139672711 showing a wrinkle ridge in eastern Mare Frigoris (centered at 54.430°N, 35.670°E). North is up. Image is ~2 km wide, illumination is from the south (bottom). [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University].

Sinus Iridum area of the Moon - it is likely that China will land a rover near Laplace A crater before the end of the year! Arrow shows location of Soviet Lunokhod 1 rover, LROC WAC mosaic is 360 km wide [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University]. Published on 21 Nov 2013 Wrinkles in Mare Frigoris A complex wrinkle ridge deforms Mare Frigoris (52.935°N; 11.131°E). NAC frame M181102837R, illumination is from the west (left), north is up, image is ~2.0 km wide. White arrow indicates small extensional feature discussed in text. [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University]. Published on 10 Oct 2013 Looking East Over Reiner Gamma LROC NAC oblique image looking west to east over the Reiner Gamma Formation (7.409°N, 300.972°E, north is to the left). Image is ~22 km wide (M1127569280). Arrows highlight a scarp formed by thrust faulting [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University].
