SECTION DESCRIPTION
The vast area of Mare Fecunditatis, which is crossed by
numerous wrinkle ridges, is dominated by the well-known pair of craters
Messier and Messier A, the latter of which is the source of two bright
rays radiating to the west. In oblique illumination 'ghost craters'
can be seen on the mare surface and also a system of rilles around the
crater Gutenberg. Refer to your copy of the Antonin Rukl lunar atlas chart,
page 123.
