==Additional Information==<br />
* The position and coordinates given in the title line (and illustrated in the [/Lunar%20Orbiter Lunar Orbiter] image) differ from those in given on the [http://planetarynames.wr.usgs.gov/Feature/4008 IAU page].<br />
* The names '''Rook''' and '''Cordillera''' were originally given by Earth-based observers, but lunar geologists using [/Lunar%20Orbiter Lunar Orbiter] overhead views made the distinction between the '''Inner Rook''' and '''Outer Rook Mountains''' because there are two different rings. The smaller circle on the diagram above is the '''Outer Rooks''', and the more fragmentary 480 km wide '''Inner Rook''' chain is easily visible inside it. From Earth these looked like one mountain chain. The offical IAU nomenclature just has Rook Mountains - the IAU is about 40 years behind science in recognizing that there are two Rook rings. Some lunar scientists interpret the conspicuous '''Cordillera''' as the main rim of the [/Orientale%20Basin Orientale Basin], others think that the hilly material in the moat between the '''Cordillera''' and '''Outer Rook''' is basin ejecta, therefore the '''Outer Rook''' would be the main rim. See [/Orientale%20Basin Orientale Basin] for more information. <span class="membersnap">- [http://www.wikispaces.com/user/view/tychocrater [[Image:tychocrater-lg.jpg|16px|tychocrater]]] [http://www.wikispaces.com/user/view/tychocrater tychocrater] <small>Oct 30, 2007</small></span><br />

==Nomenclature==<br />
<br />
* "Cordillera" is Spanish for "mountain chain".<br />
* '''Cordillera Mts.''' was included in the original IAU nomenclature of [/Blagg%20and%20M%C3%BCller Blagg and Müller]. It was No. 2029 in Blagg's ''[/Collated%20List Collated List]'', where she notes the name was used by [/Beer%20and%20M%C3%A4dler Beer and Mädler]. According to Baum and Whitaker (p. 132), Beer and Mädler applied this name to the region between the modern [/Eichstadt Eichstadt] and [/Schl%C3%BCter Schlüter], which they depicted as a continuous range of mountains. The name may have been inspired by Schröter's earlier mention of having observed a "sehr hohen Mondcordilleren" in this vicinity (''ibid'', p. 130).<br />
* The understanding of the '''Cordillera Mts''' by early 20th century observers trying to follow the IAU nomenclature did not necessarily correspond to the present understanding of the term. For example, [/Wilkins%20and%20Moore Wilkins and Moore] place the '''Cordillera Mts''' well to the south, on the far side of '''Mare Orientale''', at the limit of what can be seen at the most favorable libration. This most likely corresponds to farside peaks of the [http://www.lpod.org/archive/LPOD-2004-08-03.htm inner rings]. They place the '''Rook Mts''' still farther south, and at a similarly extreme longitude, corresponding possibly to some of the more distant parts of the present '''Montes Cordillera'''. The peaks on the nearside of '''Mare Orientale''' are not named. The [/DMA Army Map Service]'s early [/LTM LTM] series (attempting to illustrate the [/Blagg%20and%20M%C3%BCller Blagg and Müller] nomenclature) placed these features in the same way (see [http://www.lpi.usra.edu/resources/mapcatalog/LTM/sheet_2/ LTM-2] and [http://www.lpi.usra.edu/resources/mapcatalog/LTM/sheet_2_grad/ Shaded Topo 2]).<br />
* As noted by [/Whitaker Whitaker] (p. 235), the '''Cordillera Mts.''' was among the features the [/LPL LPL] felt were inadequately identified in ''[/Named%20Lunar%20Formations Named Lunar Formations]'', and they "moved" the name to the feature(s) intended by the "original authority" (Mädler, in this case). These changes were published in [/PLA%20Table%20III Table III] of their ''[/Photographic%20Lunar%20Atlas Photographic Lunar Atlas]'', and approved by the IAU in 1961 ([/IAU%20Transactions%20XIB IAU Transactions XIB]).<br />
* The name was Latinized to '''Montes Cordillera''' in 1964 ([/IAU%20Transactions%20XIIB IAU Transactions XIIB]).<br />
* Since the name is not mentioned in any subsequent [/IAU%20Transactions IAU Transactions], it is not entirely clear if the IAU name was ever meant to include the full extent of the ring made visible by the views from space. A 1969 written memo by the then Lunar Nomenclature Working Group chairman suggests this was the intention, but it does not seem to have been voted on ''(see [/Mare%20Orientale Mare Orientale] '''Nomenclature''')''.<br />
* The "definition" of '''Montes Cordillera''' indicated by the circle shown above agrees with the labeling of this feature in the unofficial [/USGS%20Digital%20Atlas USGS Digital Atlas], which seems to be based on NASA's [http://www.lpi.usra.edu/resources/mapcatalog/LMP/lmp1/ LMP-1] and [http://www.lpi.usra.edu/resources/mapcatalog/LMP/lmp2/ LMP-2] (prepared by the [/DMA DMA]).<br />
* Lunar geologists, whose terminology does not always correspond to the IAU names (see, for example, [/Apennine%20Front Apennine Front]), typically refer to the complete ring as the '''Cordillera Ring''', or, less commonly, the '''Cordillera Mountains'''. Head (1974) also suggests the alternative name '''[/Eichstadt Eichstadt] Ring''' (after the crater on the rim. They assign this ring a diameter of 900 km (Head, 1974) to 930 km (Bussey and Spudis, 1997).<br />
<br /> <br />
