Ubiquity of "Elephant Hide" Texture on the Moon
52nd Lunar and Planetary Science Conference(2021)
Abstract
Introduction: It has long been known that on the Moon regolith-covered slopes, both moderately steep and gentle, have a specific subtle decameter-scale texture dubbed “elephant hide” or “leathery” texture [e.g., 1 3] (Fig. 1). We prefer the descriptive term “elephant hide” texture (EHT), rather than the term “creeps” [3] which is genetic in nature and is not necessarily indicative of the nature of the process.
