Summary

Description

Apollo 16 Hasselblad image from film magazine 106/K - EVA-3. Pre-sampling locator photo of the location of soil sample 67700 (at tongs) and rake sample 67710 (left of tongs), on southeast rim of North Ray crater.
This photo is used in Figure 4-32 of the Apollo 16 Preliminary Science Report (NASA SP-315), which has the following caption:

The CDR rakes with his right hand and holds a sample bag in his left hand. The tongs mark the area to be sampled. Because of mobility permitted by the suit, raking is a one-arm operation. The rake is used to collect a comprehensive sample, a selective collection of rocks ranging in size from 1 to 3 cm in diameter. These walnut-sized fragments along with the sand-sized material present a more complete history of the area than do isolated rock samples. The LRV sits over the rise in this view at station 11. Note the boulder on the skyline behind the LRV.
