Strictly speaking, this page doesn't exist yet, it's up to someone (for example: an universitarian) to do something about it. Read: someone who has the perseverance to put information in it (in this embryonic page) while exploring the region near crater Golitsyn on the online ACT-REACT Quick Map of the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (the LRO).

I say, I want to keep my brain active (I'm a labourer at an industrial port) and so I decided to do it myself (the bold exploration of the region near lunar crater Golitsyn).

Saturday the 19th of September 2015, at about, say, a quarter after 13:00 U.T.

Exploring the ACT-REACT Quick Map of the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (the Golitsyn region at the southwestern part of Mare Orientale's rim).
And what do I see...
There's a small rimae-rich region east of Golitsyn and north of Golitsyn J which shows some sort of "X" shaped system of rilles and some crackled spot nearby.
This crackled spot (a veritable craquele-zone) reminds me very much the typical rough appearances of Floor Fractured Craters (FFC) which I discovered by the hundreds about one year ago (see page FFC).
