Ghost Rim?

LPOD-Feb16-10.jpg

image by Paolo R. Lazzarotti, Massa, Italy

Paolo sent another wonderful image of Sinus Iridum and I twisted and distorted it. But its all for science. What is the nature of the mare ridges that cross the mouth of the giant bay? Are they random or do they mark the buried rim of the Iridum crater? The distortion was to rectify the image so that foreshortened craters are restored to roundness - notice the nearly circular Chuck Wood
