Thanks Milton,

There is a lot to ponder on in this field. The slump you point out is intriguing - it looks as if there is a small craterlet chain embedded in the right side of it - but perhaps they are bumps not craters, would take a better resolution view to be sure. I also noticed a line of craters/scarp that runs parallel to the right side of the picture about 1/4 the way in - running from the bottom, just to the right of Bayer and across the broken right end of Schiller. Do you see it? I've never noticed this before, but 100 MAP points and you tend to notice stuff!

best,

Alan

Hi Alan;

Very Nice, thanks for sharing.

It's interesting to see that most of the craters in that general area all have flat filled in bottoms with few central peaks, if they exceed a certain diameter. I wonder if that's ejecta from one of the major mare impacts? Also it's cool to note the crater wall slum on the top (south)  right end of Schiller spilling out across the floor towards those floor peaks.

TTYL..
