Summary

Description
English: Oblique view of Tamm (foreground) and Van den Bos (center), on the far side of the moon.
The figure 6.13 H in The Geologic History of the Moon (USGS Professional Paper 1348, Don Wilhelms et al., 1987) shows this image. Part of the caption is as follows:
Tamm (38 km, 4.5 deg. S,146.5 deg. E, foreground) and Van den Bos (32 km), 225 km south of Mendeleev-basin rim, filled by fissured, viscous-appearing material possibly emplaced as impact melt from Mendeleev. View southward.

The text refers to the figure as follows:

Although many fractures and unusual landforms have been created by uplifts of impact-crater floors, a few fractured-floor craters have a less well organized fracture pattern that suggests shrinkage of a cohesive material (fig. 6.13 H). Most such craters lie near but outside basins, and the fractured material may be impact melt ejected from the basins (Moore and others, 1974; Wilhelms and others, 1979), unless it is otherwise-unknown terra volcanic material (Schultz, 1976b, p. 68; Stuart-Alexander, 1978).
