Ingenii Basin (with Thomson at its NE part)

(unofficial name; IAU feature name for central 318 km of mare: Mare Ingenii )

Lat: 33.7°S, Long: 163.5°E, Diam: 315 km, Depth: km, Rükl: (farside)

Left: Clementine Basemap , Middle: LROC . Light swirls at SW sector of Mare Ingenii, the antipode of Imbrium Basin; craterlets chains at upper left coming from O'Day.
Right: Clementine LIDAR Data, altitude-coded shaded relief from PDS Map-a-Planet remapped to north-up aerial view by LTVT. The dot is the center position and the red circle the main ring position from Chuck Wood's Impact Basin Database. The white circles indicate the positions of the remaining rings according to the Pike & Spudis data.
