R1: Montes Carpatus extends east from Gay-Lussac to T. Mayer in the west. It appears to have been impacted numerous times or was created when Mare Imbrium was first impacted. Irregular peaks and valleys along its length. C1: The herringbone pattern of secondary craters begin above Copernicus and continue to the east half way along the range on what appears to be both sides. |
