	Fra Mauro
		Fra Mauro debris may have come from as deep as 100 miles (161 km) below the original lunar crust, and returned samples provide evidence of when the Imbrium basin was formed and help to establish the age and physical/chemical nature of pre-impact material from deep in the crust.
		The Fra Mauro formation became more interesting to scientists when the Apollo 12 seismometer at Surveyor crater 110 miles (177 km) to the west relayed to Earth signals of monthly moonquakes believed to have originated in the Fra Mauro crater as the Moon passed through its perigee.
		The Fra Mauro crater and surrounding formation take their names from a 15th century Italian monk and mapmaker, who in 1457 mapped the then-known Mediterranean world with suprising accuracy.

		Apollo 13 was targeted to land in the geologic unit known as the Fra Mauro Formation, which was formed as ejecta from the impact that formed the Imbrium Basin.
		Fra Mauro material had already been mapped through Earth-based telescopes as being widely distributed across the nearside of the Moon.
		By returning samples of the Fra Mauro Formation for study on Earth, a precise age could be assigned to this geologic transition.

	Fra Mauro (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Fra Mauro is well-known as Mickey Mouse's face, when combined with the "ears" Parry and Bonpland (this "selenism" is best seen in a reflector).
		Apollo astronauts picked up some of this crud, which is generally referred to as the Fra Mauro formation for fairly obvious reasons, making those samples the genetic source name of stuff seen over roughly half the surface of the moon.
		In this case, I'd have to go with the "aperture rules" arguments, since I had never seen this level of detail in Fra Mauro before, though I have visited quite a few times with smaller scopes (usually between 4.5 and 12.5 inches).

	Apollo 14 Landing Site
		The 700-mile (1126 km) wide Mare Imbrium is the largest recognizable impact structure on the Moon, and is thought to have been formed by a major impact of a huge mass colliding with the Moon during the period when the Earth and the planets were forming.
		The Fra Mauro formation is believed to be made up of an ejecta blanket thrown out by that impact.

	Where No Man Has Gone Before, Appendix 3d
		This widespread blanket of debris is considered to consist of debris from the "Imbrian event," the cataclysmic occurrence that produced Mare Imbrium, the enormous circular mare in the northwestern quadrant of the Earth-facing side of the moon.
		The abundance of the major elements was expected to be important in establishing the moon's origin; if it proved to be totally unlike the earth in composition it could hardly have split off from the earth.
		Rima Bode II, a single linear rille running close to a fresh, elongate crater and a crater chain, was of interest because both the rille and the crater were possible sources of several dark geologic units most probably of volcanic origin.

		The mission's primary task was to sample the geologic unit called the Fra Mauro Formation, which covers a large area around the Imbrium basin.
		The Fra Mauro Formation was generally believed to consist of material ejected when Imbrium, one of the largest impact basins on the moon, was formed.
		Finally, they expected that the Fra Mauro site would provide samples that came from deep within the moon, excavated by the Imbrian event.

		The Cayley Formation consists of patches of light colored plains materials that fill most depressions peripheral to the Fra Mauro Formation (fig.
		The distribution of the pools peripherally to a deposit of basin ejecta, the Fra Mauro Formation, indicates a related origin.
		Therefore, my colleague G. Schaber and I have suggested that the Cayley is a deposit of basin ejecta that became segregated from the ballistically transported ejecta that formed the Fra Mauro Formation around the Imbrium basin.

	Abstract
		The aim of this paper is to discuss the results of a consortium study of Apollo 14 rocks and their bearing to the genesis of the Fra Mauro formation and the composition and formation of the pre-Imbrian lunar crust in the wider area of the Imbrium basin.
		The discussion is based on the generally accepted assumption that the Fra Mauro formation sampled by the Apollo 14 mission is part of the continuous ejecta blanket of the Imbrium impact basin but contains a very large amount of rocks derived from the vicinity of the sampling site by the process of secondary mass wasting.
		The interpretations and models presented here are based on textural, mineralogical, chemical and isotope analyses of samples described and presented elsewhere.

		The planned landing site for the Apollo 13 mission, Fra Mauro, contains some of the most clearly exposed geological formations that are characteristic of the Fra Mauro Formation.
		The formation is an extensive geological unit that is distributed -- in an approximately radially symmetric fashion around the Mare Imbrium -- over much of the nearside of the Moon.
