BRIEF DESCRIPTION
Predominantly mare area, which is penetrated by Mare Nubium from the south. In the west it adjoins the group of three craters Bonpland, Parry and Fra Mauro. The edge of a vast 'continental' area, which shows traces of the development of the basin of Mare Imbrium (faults, valleys, clefts), protrudes into this region from the east. The crater Davy Y contains an interesting chain of crater pits. Refer to your Antonin Rukl lunar atlas chart, page 113.Update: Hoagland's "Shard" explained in our recent analysis (20170113). See below.
