Left: LO-IV-157-H2 North is up in this overhead view in which the namesake crater [/Marius Marius] is out of the field to the right. The sinuous rille on the left (a little below center) is [/Rima%20Galilaei Rima Galilaei].
Right: Oliver Pettenpaul In this image, north is to the right. The namesake crater, [/Marius Marius] is at the bottom; and the photo extends from 8-km [/Reiner Reiner] H and 5-km [/Marius Marius] X on the left to the identically sized [/Marius Marius] L and Q on the right (these two pairs of craters are also visible at the bottom and top of the [/Lunar%20Orbiter Lunar Orbiter] overhead view).

Description
Informal name for a region in [/Oceanus%20Procellarum Oceanus Procellarum] peppered with volcanic domes and rilles.
Description: Neison
([/IAU%20Directions IAU Directions]) (from [/Neison%2C%201876 Neison, 1876], p. 316): [/Marius Marius]. ... On the west extend a very great number of these ridges together with many hills and the highest points here are Marius Epsilon which rises 1,042 feet above the plain and Iota which is perhaps 900 feet high. ... East of [/Marius Marius] are a considerable number of craterlets together with a number of hills only visible near the terminator though the craterlets are distinct even in Full.
Description: Wikipedia
Additional Information
- The Marius Hills are an area of thermal cooling anomalies [/Moore%20et%20al%2C%201980 Moore et al, 1980], for craters this implies youthful ages, but since these are known old volcanoes it probably means that fresh rocks are exposed on steep slopes.
- Other concentrations of domes can be found near the craters [/Hortensius Hortensius] and [/Milichius Milichius].
- See also [/RoI%20-%20Marius%20Hills Marius Hills] Constellation Region of Interest.
Nomenclature
- Unofficially named after the nearby crater ([/Marius Marius]).
- In the original IAU nomenclature of [/Blagg%20and%20M%C3%BCller Blagg and Müller] about seven of the individual peaks had Greek-lettered designations. More were added in the [/System%20of%20Lunar%20Craters System of Lunar Craters], but all of these were dropped by the IAU in [/IAU%20Transactions%20XVB 1973].
