The Lunar Module LM inspection procedures included detailed examination and documentation of the surface materials eroded by the plume of the descent engine. The grooving that indicates radial transport of material from the point below the engine is evident. The erosion did not destroy small craters under the engine bell. The prominent rock in the foreground was later collected as a sample. Images were taken during EVA 1 of the Apollo 14 mission. Original film magazine was labeled II, film type was S0168 High Speed Color Reversal, Interior/Surface, 60mm lens with a sun elevation of 12 degrees.
