Although predominantly a highland area centered around the Taurus Mountains (Montes Taurus), it is bounded by three major mare-filled basins: Tranquillitatis, the oldest, to the south; Serenitatis to the west; and Crisium on the east. Most of the geologic units within the quadrangle have been profoundly affected by the

Geologic map of the Maurolycus Quadrangle of the Moon

The Maurolycus quadrangle, located in the southeastern highlands, includes densely to moderately cratered terrain with many craters larger than 45 km in rim crest diameter. Several appear to be ancient and may be among the most primitive discernable features on the lunar surface. Major stratigraphic units consist of the Janssen Formation, hummocky terra and pitted plains materials, and extensive c
