Appleton-Tsu Basin?

How many impact basins do you see? There are two obvious ones, the mare in the middle of the Moscovience Basin (left) was discovered at the beginning of the space age by Luna 3, and the Chuck Wood

Thanks to Jim Mosher and Henrik Bondo for the two LPODs when I was out of reach of the Internet!

The names Moscoviense and Freundlich - Sharonov cover the widths of those basins. The letter T is on top of the crater Tsu Chung-Chi, and A covers Appleton crater. The faint black line traces the rim of what could be a newly recognized basin, Appleton-Tsu.
