The crater Hipparchus C (HC) is superposed on a fracture and, therefore, is younger than the Imbrium basin and the Imbrium sculpture.
Maraldi, a crater described in figure 52, is shown by the fl arrow.
The linear chain of elongate craters near the left side is probably of secondary origin, formed by the impact of fragments ejected from Tsiolkovsky (850 km to the southwest).

To see the lunar clefts to the best advantage, they must be looked for when not very far removed from the terminator, as when so situated the fl shadow of one side, contrasted with the usually brightly- illuminated opposite flank, renders them more conspicuous than when they are viewed under a higher sun.
The estimation of lunar tints in the usual way, by eye observations at the telescope, involving as it does physiological errors which cannot be eliminated, is a method far too crude and ambiguous to form the basis of a scientific scale or for the detection of slight variations.
Its crest is broken on the E. by a large brilliant crater, and its continuity is interrupted on the N. by a formation resembling a large double crater, which is associated with a number of low rounded banks and ridges extending some distance towards the N.W., and breaking the continuity of the _glacis_.

We saw that in the case of the lunar Orientale basin, the center was the first to fill with lava.
It is possible that the crater never had a central peak or it was covered by ejecta from surrounding craters.
However, in the case of large impacts, the pressure-release accompanying the excavation and rebound of the crater floor, may have been sufficient to initiate the subsequent eruption of material from a pre-existing shallow magma chamber.

 Theophrastus (crater)
Theophrastus is a small lunar impact crater at the southern part of the Sinus Amoris, a bay at the northeast part of the Mare Tranquillitatis.
It lies to the southeast of the lava-flooded Maraldi crater, and was designated 'Maraldi M' until the IAU gave this formation its current name.
This is a circular crater, with inner walls that slope down to the mid-point and a rim that rises slightly above the surrounding lunar mare.

Mount Maraldi is a little-studied round and flattish plateau on the western edge of Sinus Amoris near the crater Maraldi.
According to the LTO map, Mount Maraldi rises to a high point (6945 m) on its western edge and slopes down to 5800 m on its east base, for a maximum height of about 1150 m.
It is not like classic lunar domes made of mare basalt, but is apparently a material that was not sampled during the Apollo explorations.

It appears to be exactly where Littrow B (now, I think, called Clerke) sits, but the rille structure on the charts only looks sort of like what I saw, and both maps indicate fairly slight rilles there, rather than the more distinct traces I saw.
