Summary

Description Apollo 16 Hasselblad image from film magazine 116/E - EVA-3. Sample 67935 (basaltic impact melt with glass veins) and Sample 67955 (noritic anorthosite) were collected from the boulder's surface in the left side of this photograph near the astronaut's hands.
This photo is used in Figure 4-31 of the Apollo 16 Preliminary Science Report (NASA SP-315), which has the following caption:
The LMP inspects House Rock at station 11 before sampling the area. This rock is composed of crushed rock fragments set in a fine-grained matrix. In the area by the astronaut's hands, bands of black glass that have been injected into the boulder can be seen. The intense brecciation and injection suggest a complex history for this boulder. A sample bag is held in the LMP's right hand; the cuff checklist on his left arm indicates the tasks to be performed at each station.
