Le Monnier is center top (does it look higher, smoother and with fewer impact craters than the adjacent mare?), with Römer bottom right, and the Aldrovandi mare ridge slices diagonally near upper left. The slightly higher, older mare terrain at center left is cut by the [http://www.lpod.org/archive/LPOD-2004-09-21.htm Littrow rilles]. A very delicate linear feature with a forked southern end is in the mare just east of the Aldravandi ridge.

More intriguingly, Jérôme’s image shows another narrower linear feature on the mare just west of the long triangular shadow of the unnamed peak at the south end of the Littrow peaks. Only a sliver of this appears in the Lunar Orbiter IV view, but it shows up beautifully in an [http://www.lpod.org/coppermine/displayimage.php?album=21&pos=13 Apollo 15]. From the point of view of imaging from the Earth I image that this is the discovery photo for both of these narrow rilles.
