Additional Information
- IAU page: Bench
- The position and diameter in the title line are from [/ULCN#Davies_Colvin Davies and Colvin], who determined the position by scaling from a known point in the Site Traverses Chart which is probably based on [/Lunar%20Orbiter Lunar Orbiter] III photos.
- The much less precise official data from the [/IAU%20Planetary%20Gazetteer IAU Planetary Gazetteer] are: Lat: 3.2°S, Long: 23.4°W, Diam: 0.1 km.
- Samples were taken from the periphery of Bench crater during the second Apollo 12 EVA.
