Surface Features

Crater floor material–hummocky

Rough or gently rolling, moderately cratered crater floor surfaces.

cfh

Crater floor material–smooth

Very smooth, planar and sparsely cratered crater floor surfaces.

cfs

Crater material–heavily degraded

Heavily degraded craters with a subdued or discontinuous rim and a hummocky, densely cratered floor.

c1

Crater material–degraded

Degraded craters with a subdued rim and a moderately cratered smooth to hummocky floor.

c2

Crater material–well preserved

Fresh craters with a sharp rim, textured ejecta blanket and pristine or sparsely cratered floor.

Crater Materials

Intercrater plains material

Rough or gently rolling, densely cratered surfaces, encompassing also distal crater materials.

icp

Intermediate plains material

Smooth undulating to planar surfaces, more densely cratered than the smooth plains.

imp

Smooth plains material–northern

Smooth and sparsely cratered planar surfaces confined to the high-northern latitudes.

spn

Smooth plains material

Smooth and sparsely cratered planar surfaces confined to pools found within crater materials.
