 Lower Imbrian   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
In the Lunar geologic timescale, the Lower Imbrian epoch occurred between 3850 million years ago to about 3800 million years ago.
The impact which created the Mare Imbrium basin occurred at the start of the epoch, and it represents the period during which the newer large basins were formed.
These filled with basalt largely during the following Upper Imbrian epoch.

All craters in this category are assigned an Imbrian age on the basis of rimcrest sharpness and common embayment by Imbrian mare material; however, some craters appear to be superposed on the mare material or gradational with it and could be post-Imbrian.
Although topographic features are subdued to a degree that would indicate early Imbrian or pre-Imbrian age in main-sequence craters, superposition of the type example on middle or late Imbrian features of the Orientale basin floor suggests relative youth and, therefore, an original form distinct from that of the main-sequence craters.
Includes craters of two types: (1) those difficult to assign to either the upper or lower Imbrian because of small size, resolution limitations, extensive flooding by younger materials, or proximity to large youthful craters; (2) those whose central peaks and interior profiles are unlike those of main-sequence craters.

The upper half of the map portrays the geology of the earth-facing or near side, and the lower half shows terrain that was unknown before spacecraft photography.
Similar plains of Imbrian age that are distant from the Orientale basin may be ejecta of Imbrium-basin secondary craters or of large Imbrian primary craters.
In the Imbrian Period, ejecta from the distant Imbrium basin formed scattered secondary craters, Orientale basin deposits blanketed a huge region on the west limb including the Mendel-Rydberg and Bailly basins, and Orientale ejecta formed many secondary craters beyond this blanket.

 Mare Cognitum   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Mare Cognitum (the "sea that has become known") is a lunar mare located in a basin or large crater which sits in the sencond ring of the Procellarum basin.
The basin material is of the Lower Imbrian epoch, while the basaltic mare material is of the Upper Imbrian epoch.
To the northwest of the mare is the Montes Riphaeus mountain range, part of the rim of the buried crater or basin containing the mare.

 Irene Antonenko, Ph.D. Thesis: Chapter 4
The upper age bound of the cryptomafic patches in this area is, therefore, 3.8 b.y., the age of the Orientale impact event [Wilhelms, 1987].
The age of approximately 3.8 b.y., the boundary between the upper and lower Imbrian series, is therefore adopted as the upper age bound for the cryptomafic deposits in this region.
For the younger cryptomafic unit, inside the inner ring of Humboldtianum, the terra material is adopted as the lower age bound and the light plains are adopted as the upper age bound.

 Mare Tranquillitatis   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Mare Tranquillitatis ("sea of tranquillity") is a lunar mare that sits within the Tranquillitatis basin on Earth's moon.
The mare material within the basin consists of basalt in the intermediate to young age group of the Upper Imbrian epoch.
The surrounding mountains are thought to be of the Lower Imbrian epoch, but the actual basin is probably Pre-Nectarian.

 Alphonsus
Alphonsus escaped being overwhelmed by the ejecta and uplift, but the crater walls were eroded and almost certainly settled as a result of the Imbrian impact, and the stresses of that impact also probably further weakened the crust in the floor of the crater.
Around the same time as the Imbrian impact, Arzachel was created by a smaller impact, which coved the southern part of Alphonsus' floor with its ejecta.
Even later, during the Upper Imbrian and Eratosthenian age, while the Nubium Basin was filling with basalt to become Mare Nubium, a number of grabens formed and several small volcanic eruptions took place on Alphonsus’ floor.

The event also seems to have put an upper limit on the ages of surviving impact melts in the Apollo collection (Ryder, 1990; Dalrymple and Ryder, 1993).
While the concept of a cataclysm has been controversial (Baldwin, 1974; Hartmann, 1975), recent analyses of impact melts in lunar meteorites (Cohen et al., 2000), which represent a much larger fraction of the Moon, have the same age limit and support a planetwide impact cataclysm.
This was followed by the Early Imbrian Epoch, which began with the Imbrium impact and ended with the Orientale impact, again roughly 3.8–3.9 Ga, producing additional basin-size craters on the order of 1000 km diameter.
