Crozier H: Concentric Crater
- The location of Crozier H, the 7th item in C.A.Wood's list of Concentric Craters (1978), is noticeable immediately west of Crozier itself, on Lunar Orbiter 4's photograph LOIV-60-h2.
- Crozier H is also noticeable on a pan-mosaic of Mare Fecunditatis' southwest region, created by David Woods and Frank O'Brien of the Apollo 8 Flight Journal.
- Other orbital Apollo photographs of Crozier H are Apollo 12's AS12-51-7494, 7495, 7496, and 7497 (near the upper margins of all four frames).
