Terraced depressions in Lunar Maria [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research, 1971 Some shallow, irregularly shaped mare depressions are bordered by terraces. Morphologic study suggests that some of these depressions are drained lava lakes. If so, mare materials in which they occur originated as lava. Some associated sinuous rills and craters may have had volcanic origins.

Special Thermophysical Features of Floor Materials in Mare Smythii Indicated by CE-2 CELMS Data
IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing, 2021 Mare Smythii is a special basin, which is one of the oldest mare basins with the considerably young mare basalts and the high density of floor-fractured craters.

The Variability of Lunar Mare Basalt Properties from Surface Rock Abundance
The Planetary Science Journal, 2023 We use the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Diviner Lunar Radiometer Experiment surface rock abundance data set to investigate how rock content changes with surface age in the maria. We find that surface rock abundance decreases with unit age as expected for

On the Possible Origin of the Lunar Maria [PDF]
Nature, 1966 RECENT close-up photographs of the lunar surface on the western shores of Oceanus Procellarum, televized back to Earth by the Russian soft-lander Luna 9 on February 4, revealed for the first time the detailed micro-structure of typical mare ground down to a cm–mm scale.

Chronology of the Basalt Units Surrounding Chang’e-4 Landing Area
Remote Sensing, 2021 The Chang’e-4 (CE-4) lunar probe, the first soft landing spacecraft on the far side of the Moon, successfully landed in the Von Kármán crater on 3 January 2019. Geological studies of the landing area have been conducted and more intensive studies will be

Recent Tectonic Deformation of the Lunar Farside Mare and South Pole–Aitken Basin
The Planetary Science JournalThe timing and scale of lunar tectonism provide a crucial insight into the geologic evolution of Earth’s Moon. Within the nearside lunar maria, wrinkle ridges formed during and after the emplacement of the mare basalts as a result of subsidence-induced ...

Diverse Geological Evolution of Impact Basins on the Moon
Remote Sensing, 2022 Impact basins are the dominant landforms on the lunar surface, and their geological evolution varies. This research studied the diversity in the geological evolution of three impact basins: the Dirichlet–Jackson Basin, the Nectaris Basin, and the ...

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract New data on the equine aortic valve obtained using advanced techniques is especially important given the greater availability of animal models for translational research. Here we characterized the morphological and morphometric aspects of the equine aortic valve from 60 healthy hearts collected at equine abattoirs.

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Macaws are renowned for processing dry, mechanically resistant fruits, yet the species‐level anatomical and functional correlates of this performance remain incompletely resolved. We examined the feeding apparatus of the Blue‐and‐yellow Macaw (Ara ararauna) using an integrated approach that combines osteology, myology, and bite‐force estimates
