AS 14-68-9476 - Turtle Rock
|
This is one in a series of pictures Ed took of Turtle Rock. This is probably the best picture of the series. The boulder gets its name from the turtle-like pieces of rock sitting on the top of the main boulder. Ed was so busy at this point that he never noticed the turtle. Note the large white inclusion in the right-hand third of the boulder about half way up from the bottom. Note, also, the skirt of soil - called a "fillet" - built up out of ejecta from nearby impacts splashing against the sides of the rock.
