Oddities

How many oddities do you see in this image?
The craters, Atlas and Hercules in front and Endymion, the smooth-floored one near the terminator, don't count. Lets start with the obvious - the concentric rilles and dark halo craters that yank Atlas from the classification of normal complex crater into the more exclusive floor-fractured category. What else? Hmm. How about the mare ridge like feature down the middle of Endymion. Does this mean the floor material is lava? Probably - it is dark at Chuck Wood
