  Esclangon (crater) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Esclangon is a lunar crater that is located in the rugged terrain to the northwest of the prominent Macrobius crater, and east of Sinus Amoris.
The interior of this crater has been flooded with basaltic-lava, leaving only a low rim above the surface.
The rim is not quite circular, having bulges to the northeast and northwest, most likely the result of smaller craters that have merged with the main rim.

 The Apollo 15 Flight Journal - Solo Orbital Operations - 1
Crater counts across Mare Serenitatis suggested that actually the lighter surface covering the centre of the mare was younger than the outer, dark regions.
This shows the scattering of craters of relatively small proportions which is typical of mare surfaces and records the cratering which has occurred since the basalt was laid down over three billion years ago.
It is typical of the small, raised-rim craters seen on the Moon and is notable as having been once named as a subsidiary of a crater less than half its diameter, the tiny Linné.

 Macrobius (crater) - Definition, explanation
Macrobius is a prominent lunar impact crater located to the northwest of the Mare Crisium.
The small satellite crater 'Macrobius C' lies across the western rim, but the wall is otherwise relatively free of significant wear.
By convention these features are identified on Lunar maps by placing the letter on the side of the crater mid-point that is closest to Macrobius crater.
