James Irwin Views of the green boulder at station 6A and of David Scott adjusting the antenna of the Rover at station 7, EVA 2 1 August 1971 Two vintage gelatin silver prints on fibre-based paper, each 25.4 x 20.3 cm (10 x 8 in), BLACK NUMBERED NASA AS15-90-12187 and AS15-90-12219 in top margins, the first print bears a NASA MSC caption on the verso (NASA Manned Spacecraft Center) Footnotes: Stations 6 and 7 were close to each other on the north-facing slope of Hadley Delta about 90 to 100 meters above the mare surface, 5 km from the Lunar Module Station 6A, an intermediate stop, was the highest location visited by the crew. The boulder that marked this stop (first photograph) had a greenish tinge, later found to come from magnesium oxide. Mount Hadley and the Swann range are in the background. At station 7 near Spur Crater, the crew made a longer stop (second photograph), adjusting the Rover antenna so that Mission Control could survey their activities. They collected a sample that later proved to be more than four billion years old, older than any rocks ever found on Earth. It was dubbed the "Genesis Rock."
