Summary
Materials of the lunar surface are divided into mappable units and relatively dated on the basis of morphology, albedo (reflectivity under full-moon illumination), and superposition and crosscutting relations. Time stratigraphic classification of units follows the work by Shoemaker (1962), Shoemaker and Hackman (1962), McCauley (1967), and Wilhelms (1970).

Digitized 1:1,000,000-scale geologic map of the LAC13 - Aristoteles Quadrangle of the Moon. Originally mapped on Lunar Base Chart USAF-ACIC imagery. The scanned map sheet was imported into ArcMap and georeferenced to the more current 2013 global WAC mosaic basemap. Contacts and geologic units were digitized and attributed based on type and unit name
