About: Fillet (geology)

An Entity of Type: Thing, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

In planetary geology the term fillet describes a fine-grained deposit in an apron shape configuration that partially or entirely surround boulders on the surface of the Moon. Fillets are a morphological expression of lunar soil development. The fillet is characterized by an onlap contact with the adjacent rock and by a shallow or concave profile. Associated morphologies are thin pockets of dust present on top of the boulder and rock fragments either laying on top of, or buried by, the fillet. These rock fragments are chipped off from the original boulder by impacts of large meteoroids.
