Lunar near-terminator and high-resolution panoramic camera photographs were searched for flow fronts, the edges of flow units in mare areas. Data for twenty areas, including fifteen previously unmeasured areas, are summarized. Height measurements of flow scarps present on the moon range from 1 to 96 m. More than half (57%) of all flow fronts measured are less than 15 m thick. These observations agree well with other photogeological and experimental observations of flow unit thicknesses on the moon.
