This high contrast view of Imbrium Basin ejecta left me marveling at the apparent consistency of size of these chunks of lunar crust. Each is a small mountain about 2 to 10 km wide. They look pristine, because they aren't smoothed over with pasty material as is the ejecta from the Apennines towards Godin and Agrippa. I don't see any quantized debris like this anywhere around Orientale - it all looks more like the Apennines. I wonder what the specialized circumstances were that produced this unusual deposit?
