Abstract
Relative ages of structures and geologic units have been determined from intersection and apparent overlap relations and from morphologic freshness reflecting degree of preservation. The fivefold crater-age sequence is based on the classification of Shoemaker and Hackman (1962), and corresponds broadly to a modified classification of Pohn and Offield (1970) and Offield (1971). Rock units in the quadrangle are provisionally correlated with time-stratigraphic units first described in and near the Imbrium basin (Shoemaker, 1962 a, b; Shoemaker and Hackman, 1962, Shoemaker and others, 1963) and subsequently recognized elsewhere on the near side of the Moon (McCauley, 1967; Wilhelms, 1970; Wilhelms and McCauley, 1971).
