Title: A remote-sensing and geologic investigation of the Crueger region of the moon
Abstract: Earth-based and spacecraft photography were used along with spectral reflectance and radar data to study the origin, composition, and mode of emplacement of the geologic units in and around the Crueger crater. It is shown that the composition of the mare unit within the crater is similar to that of other intermediate TiO2 basalt deposits on the lunar near side. The results suggest that the Crueger crater is a normal pre-Orientale impact crater that was modified by Orientale ejecta and later flooded by mare basalt.
