Summary

Description
English: This photo is used in Figure 29-124 of the Apollo 16 Preliminary Science Report (NASA SP-315), which has the following caption:
This south oblique view of Goclenius Crater exhibits the characteristic fracture and vent features of type 3 craters and a crater floor elevation that is conspicuously below that of the surrounding mare.

The text of the report explains Type 3 craters:

Type 3 craters are partially flooded, but the rims are unbreached by the adjacent mare materials. Most of these craters have, or appear to have, crater floors below the level of the adjacent mare surfaces. Many type 3 craters contain a network of arcuate rifles and radial, grabenlike fractures; occasionally, they contain sinuous rifles. The fracture patterns often suggest general expansion of the crater floor.
