Easily identifiable volcanic complexes like the one in Figure
92 are not common, but some others have been recognized. This crudely
circular belt of high-rimmed craters is located along the common boundary
between Oceanus Procellarum and Mare Imbrium, about 130 km southwest of
the crater Euler. Here also, a cover of dark material-presumably volcanic
ejecta - is present. However, unlike the previous example, which was surrounded
by a "sea" of unbroken mare, this complex is closely associated with many
peaks of premare terra. They are distinguished not only by their appreciable
relief, but also by their smooth surfaces and lighter tone.
