Younger And Older?

This low Sun view of Rümker provokes new observations and resurrection of some old questions.
First thought to be a degraded crater, Rümker finally became recognized as a pile of volcanic domes.
The most recent " rel="nofollow study by Christian Wöhler, Raf Lena and K. C. Pau determined that Rümker rises
about 1 km above the Procellarum lavas, with six individual domes about 100 to 200 meters tall. The
low spot in the center helps explain why older observers mistook Rümker for a degraded crater. Another
process that forms a depression in the center of a volcanic structure is collapse to form a caldera.
That is possible, but perhaps the low spot is simply a place where domes didn't form. Along the top part
of Rümker the surrounding mare lavas ride up against and perhaps a little over the dome complex. At
the north (left in this view) end of Rümker it appears that the dome truncates the mare ridge, suggesting
that Rümker is younger than this piece of the mare. Both Rümker and the maria that encircle it have
various ages.
