Slightly elevated oblong craterlets

From The Moon
Jump to: navigation, search

There's the sort of oblong craterlets on the moon which look like some sort of "boats". They are slightly elevated depressions, usually located near the ends of sinuous rilles. Some of them appear as chains of two to three or more. This page is (or should be) the start of a survey of these oblong depressions
