Lunar 100 – Object 71
Lunar 100 object 71 represents the Sulpicius Gallus dark mantle, a pyroclastic ash deposit formed by explosive volcanic eruptions northwest of the crater. It is included in the Lunar 100 because its low‑albedo surface, volcanic glass content, and clear distribution make it the textbook example of lunar pyroclastic mantling. A scientifically rich structure illustrating explosive volcanism on the Moon.
