Summary

Description
English: The south rim and region south of Erro crater. Cropped from Apollo 16 mapping camera frame 1596. This is an approximate reconstruction of Figure 29-112 of the Apollo 16 Preliminary Science Report (NASA SP-315), which has the following caption:
Enlargement of Apollo 16 metric camera frame 1596.

The text of the report refers to the figure as follows:

In the flat floor of an old crater located east of Babcock Crater (4° N 94° E) are several sharply defined, yet nearly rimless craters (areas A and B, fig. 29-112). These craters have somewhat irregular halos of dark material and resemble other craters in the dark, smooth material that occurs in the Taurus Mountains near Mare Serenitatis (fig. 25-64 in ref. 29-93). The dark, smooth material in the Taurus Mountains has been described by El-Baz as probably pyroclastic. The morphology and the presence of halos of possibly pyroclastic material suggest that these rimless craters may be maars.
