Oceanus Procellarum (Ocean of Storms) is the largest expanse of lava on the Moon, with an area of more than two million square kilometres, a little smaller than Earth's Mediterranean Sea.
The western maria, including the plains of Procellarum, were formed around 3.2 billion years ago and were the last large maria to appear on the Moon's surface.
Billy and Herodotus are impact craters pre-dating the later lava flows of Oceanus Procellarum, and therefore formed more than 3.2 billion years ago, their floors being subsequently filled with lava.

 Oceanus - Encyclopedia Glossary Meaning Explanation Oceanus   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Oceanus or Okeanos refers to the ocean, which the Greeks and Romans regarded as a river circling the world.
Oceanus' consort is his sister Tethys, and from their union came the ocean nymphs, also known as the three-thousand Oceanids, and all the rivers of the world.
Though Herodotus was skeptical about the physical existence of Oceanus, he rejected snowmelt as a cause of the annual flood of the Nile; according to his translator and interpreter Livio Catullo Stecchini he left unsettled the question of an equatorial Nile, extending from the true sources of the Nile to the Atlantic Ocean.

Oceanus Procellarum occupies much of the western hemisphere of the Moon's near side.
Oceanus Procellarum consists of a patchwork of lava flows that erupted around 3.9 billion years ago, burying more ancient structures beneath several kilometres of basaltic exudate.
The complicated structure of Procellarum was dramatically revealed in images taken at different wavelengths by the Clementine probe during its lunar survey in 1994.

Eddington is the lava-flooded remnant of a lunar impact crater, located on the western part of Oceanus Procellarum.
The south and southeastern rim of Eddington is almost completely gone, leaving only a few ridges and promontories in the lunar mare to trace the outline of the original crater.
The remainder of the rim is worn and irregular, forming a mountainous arc that is widest in the north.

 Hollow Moon Planetology: Blue Moon -- Crystalbarrens   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
They are the HM setting's answer to both desert and tundra: cold, dry, wind-swept expanses of bare, level crystal, dotted with islands of sand-crust or basalt cones, and lit from beneath by a deep blue light, in the darker portion of the lunar "day".
Temperatures are a steady -30 degrees F at ground level -- the same as the outer moon's surface beneath 3' of depth -- but increase by a whopping 5 degrees per foot of elevation, as the wider, volcano-heated atmosphere of the Hollow Moon supplants the chill that clings to the crystalline surface.
The appearance of the green light underfoot, and associated change in temperature, also generates a thick, ground-hugging mist that condenses on the crops, islands and cryion villages, providing the mnelds with a monthly ration of precious moisture in an environment where springs and rivers are unknown.

 Ages and stratigraphy of mare basalts in Oceanus Procellarum, Mare Nubium, Mare Cognitum, and Mare Insularum
Accurate estimates of mare basalt ages are necessary to place constraints on the duration and the flux of lunar volcanism as well as on the petrogenesis of lunar mare basalts and their relationship to the thermal evolution of the Moon.
Younger basalts are generally exposed in the center of the investigated area, that is, closer to the volcanic centers of the Aristarchus Plateau and Marius Hills.
Older basalts occur preferentially along the northwestern margin of Oceanus Procellarum and in the southeastern regions of the studied area, i.e., in Mare Cognitum and Mare Nubium.

The rugged terrae in the lower left corner mark the edge of Oceanus Procellarum.
The suggestion has been made that in some mare basins the original level to which lava filled the basin has receded and that skirts such as these are, in effect, "bathtub rings" recording the higher level.
Among these are small crenulate wrinkle ridges (A) superposed on broad gentle arches (B), braided or en echelon patterns, a common tendency toward parallelism within limited areas, and a tendency to be deflected by obstacles such as the arcuate ridge belt of terra near the Aristarchus plateau.

The Hertzsprung basin is believed to be younger than the Humorum basin to the east because of the relatively sharp appearance of some of its rings and the common occurrence though somewhat degraded form, of its secondary craters; Humorum secondary craters have not been recognized.
Most of the dark mare along the west edge of Oceanus Procellarum is red but in some places it is relatively blue.
Ridges within Oceanus Procellarum, for example, generally follow the northwest and northeast trends of structures within the grid zones and are believed to represent extrusions of basalt along fractures produced by tensile stresses (Scott and others, 1975).

The 100-kilometer-wide "Flamsteed Ring" (Flamsteed P) lies in the moon's Oceanus Procellarum (Ocean of Storms) east of the dark-floored crater Grimaldi and south-west of the bright ray crater Kepler.
Today, the Ring is widely accepted to be an ancient impact crater flooded by lava during the formation of Oceanus Procellarum.
In 1967, however, a considerable body of opinion held that it formed as lava squeezed toward the surface some time after Oceanus Procellarum formed.

This is interesting because it is shockmelted basalt of the Oceanus Procellarum crust which is itself shock-melted but of unknown parentage.
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.
