MARIUS
Directory - Section 29

BRIEF DESCRIPTION
The western part of Oceanus Procellarum, poor in large craters, but very rich in lunar domes, especially near the crater Marius. This area, geologically very interesting with distinct traces of volcanic activity, was selected as a target for one of the Apollo missions, subsequently cancelled. Refer to your copy of the Antonin Rukl lunar atlas chart, page 85.
