Summary edit

Description Apollo 17 Hasselblad image from film magazine 136/H - EVA-1
This photo was used in Figure 5-18 of the Apollo 17 Preliminary Science Report (SP-330, 1973), which has the following caption:
View from the lunar module (LM) landing site looking north across dark floor material toward the North Massif. The surface in the foreground is typical of the dark floor material relative to the abundance of craters and basalt fragments. The small crater just right of center in the photograph is approximately 3 m in diameter.
The text of the report refers to the figure:
The regolith on dark floor material consists of loose, fine, seriate debris with few fragments larger than approximately 1 cm (fig. 5-18). The regolith is a sparkling dark gray at the surface with even darker gray material just below the surface, at least in the optically lightened area near the lunar module (fig. 5-19).
