	Mare Imbrium
		The basin material is of the Lower Imbrian epoch, with the mare material being of the Upper Imbrian and Eratosthenian epochs.
		The mare is lined with mountian ranges called montes to the south.
		Sinus Iridum is seen connected to the mare on the northwestern rim.

	Mare Imbrium Information
		Mare Imbrium is between 3700 million and 3900 million years old and is the youngest of the lunar maria except for Mare Orientale.
		The mare material is thought to be about 5 km deep, giving the Imbrium Basin a total depth of 12 km; it is thought that the original crater left by the Imbrium impact was as much as 100 km deep, but the floor of the basin bounced back upward immediately afterward.
		Surrounding the Imbrium Basin is a region blanketed by ejecta from the impact, extending roughly 800 km outward.

	APOD: 2000 December 28 - Moon Mare and Montes
		Notable at the northern edge of the Mare Imbrium (Sea of Rains) is the 95 kilometer wide dark crater Plato, while the dramatic straight "cut" to the right of Plato, (toward the terminator) is the Vallis Alpes (Alpine Valley).
		The long, graceful arc of the lunar Montes Apenninus (Apennine Mountains) in the lower portion of the image sweeps southward along the boundary of the mare toward the left and ends near the bright ray crater
		In 1971, Apollo 15 landed near the gap beyond the opposite (northern) end of the Montes Apenninus arc.

	Major Lunar Maria
		However, each mare appears to contain many thinner basalt flows.
		Typical flow thicknesses appear to be 10-20 m.
		Thus, mare volcanism is most likely inside these basins, especially where younger craters have dug into the basin floor.

		The crater is 107 km in diameter and is centered at 9.7 N, 20.1 W. In the foreground is Mare Imbrium, peppered with secondary crater chains and elongated craters due to the Copernicus impact.
		The smoother mare surface is in contrast to the rough highland area at the top of the frame.
		The large crater near the center of the image is the 20 km diameter Pytheas, at 20.5 N, 20.6 W. At the upper edge of the Mare Imbrium are the Montes Carpatus.

	MAS - The Moon
		The dark regions (Mare Imbrium, Mare Serenitatis, etc.) have long been known not to be "seas" as thought by the astronomers who first named them.
		The Apollo 14 samples showed that the Imbrium basin was formed by an impact which occurred about 3.85 billion years ago, and the samples taken by the crew of Apollo 15 showed that the subsequent lava flow which flooded the basin took place about 3.5 billion years ago.
		This is the process that is thought to have filled in the Imbrium basin: the basaltic magma from the residual melt migrated upwards through the fractures in the surface caused by the impact, filling in the impact basin to form the mare we see today.

		For example, mare basalts are mainly confined in the topographic depressions produced at the centers of these basins.
		The Imbrium Basin is the largest basin on the nearside of the Moon, with a diameter of 1160 kilometers (the South Pole-Aitken Basin on the farside is twice as large).
		Imbrium and Serenitatis are separated by the Apennine Mountains, which form part of the main basin ring of the Imbrium Basin.

	Mare Volcanism
		They are typically circular in outline because they tend to fill the bottoms of very large, very old impact basins.
		Smaller mare patches also occur in the floors of some impact craters.
		They also are very old, and have been battered by the impacts of many small meteorites for over 3 billion years.

	Geomorphology: Chapter 10 Plate P-2
		This view of Mare Imbrium, taken several decades ago with the 100-inch Mount Wilson telescope, is more valuable than ever because of the Apollo 15 mission, which landed at the foot of the Apennine Mountains.
		These grabens cut probable impact melt south of Autolycus, but not the mare basalts of the Palus Putredinus, and thus must be between 3.8 and 3.3 billion years old (the latter being the age of basalts from Hadley Base).
		After the eruptions of mare basalt ceased, roughly 3 billion years ago, the internal evolution of Mare Imbrium was essentially complete.

	Mare Imbrium - Ask.com Web Search
		Mare Imbrium, Latin for "Sea of Showers" or "Sea of Rains", is a vast lunar mare (mahr'-ay) filling a basin on Earth's Moon.
		Mare Imbrium was created when lava flooded the giant crater formed when a very large object hit the moon long ago.

	Geokem - Lunar Basalts
		The crater Plato which lies near the Mare Imbrium a little above left centre of the moon is a flat pool of shock melted basalt and surrounded by the usual raised rim of ejected impactite.
		In the major Mare including Imbrium older craters have been invaded and almost submerged by the flood basalt, so the basalts of Oceanus Procellarum may be at least 2 km deep, possibly much more, a hundred km is not impossible.
		The Mare basalts may have flowed between these hills, at any rate basalts were found on the floor of the valley in the young Shorty Crater but the well known large boulder Split Rock is a multilithologic impactite.
