A few volcanic craters lie in a field of impact craters in Oceanus
Procellarum, northwest of the Aristarchus plateau. Three in number, the
volcanic structures are easily recognized by their high rims, planar slopes,
and
elongate shape. They are clearly embayed and partly buried by mare
basalt, and thus are older than the mare plain surrounding them.
