Right: LO-IV-085H Rimae Plinius refers to the grooves running horizontally across this image, which extends from [/Promontorium%20Archerusia Promontorium Archerusia] on the left to the 18-km crater [/Dawes Dawes] on the right. The rimae are named after 43-km [/Plinius Plinius] at bottom center. Also visible, a little to the upper left of center and tangent to the northernmost rille is the faint 8-km crater [/Brackett Brackett], and to its northwest the named ridge [/Dorsum%20Nicol Dorsum Nicol].

Additional Information
Rimae Plinius, Brackett, Dorsum Nicol, the northern part of crater Plinius, and Promontorium Archerusia, are depicted on the cover of the album APOLLO: ATMOSPHERES AND SOUNDTRACKS by Brian Eno, Daniel Lanois, and Roger Eno (1982). This orbital handheld Hasselblad photograph (AS17-150-23069) looks great on the L.P.-edition which appeared in the early eighties!

Nomenclature
- Named from nearby crater. ([/Plinius Plinius])
- Four Roman-numeralled rilles associated with [/Plinius Plinius] were part of the original IAU nomenclature of [/Blagg%20and%20M%C3%BCller Blagg and Müller]. Exactly when the name in its present form was adopted is unclear. - JimMosher JimMosher
- It is also not clear if the rilles to the north of [/Dawes Dawes] are meant to be included in this named system or not. They fall outside the official IAU diameter, but on LTO42C3 they are labeled as part of “Fossae Plinius”. - JimMosher JimMosher
