Mare Crisium (the "sea of crises") is a
lunar mare located in the Moon's Crisium
basin, just northeast of
Mare Tranquillitatis. This basin is of the
Nectarian
epoch, while the mare material is of the
Upper Imbrian epoch. This mare is 376 miles
(605 KM) in diameter, with many notable features in and around it.
The cape-like feature protruding into the southeast of the mare is
Promonitorium Agarum. On the western rim of the mare is the
palimpsest
Yerkes. The crater
Picard is located
just to the east of Yerkes, and northwest of Picard is the crater
Peirce.[*]
