Understanding the origin of the oldest lunar crust was a main scientific objective of the last three Apollo missions, 15, 16, and 17, all of which landed in or near highland exposures. Starting with Apollo 15, the astronauts took hundreds of 70 mm surface photographs. These pictures have been re-studied, and reveal pervasive layering in the lunar highland crust visited by the Apollo 15, 16, and 17 missions. Additional information is included in the original extended abstract.
