BRIEF DESCRIPTION
42.5_N_127.8_W
Ridge Section 91 is named after the 86
km lunar crater, Perrine, which is located on the
northern hemisphere on the lunar Far Side. It lies to
the east of Von Zeipel and to the northeast of the
crater Klute. To the north-northwest is the smaller
Gullstrand. Perrine is an unusual formation that
forms part of a chain of connected craters. The western
two-thirds of the crater is overlain by the slightly
smaller Perrine S, so that Perrine is crescent-shaped.
The western rim of Perrine S is overlain by the
still-smaller Perrine T. Perrine S has a worn outer rim,
and a small central peak in the middle of the floor. The
surviving rim of Perrine is worn and eroded, with the
overlapping pair Perrine E and Perrine G intruding
slightly into the eastern rim. A smaller crater has
disrupted the southwest end of the outer rim, and a pair
of small craters are attached to the northern rim. Only
a small portion of the interior floor of Perrine still
survives, forming a crescent-shaped surface between the
outer rampart of Perrine S and the inner wall of
Perrine. It is marked by a pair of tiny craterlets in
the northern half. (Some of the descriptions were
obtained from wikipedia.org. Section 91 and this
directory was created by Fran Ridge and Ned Haskin of
The Lunascan Project).
