The Mendeleev Crater chain: A description and discussion of originA 113-kilometer-long crater chain on the floor of Mendeleev Crater is the best morphological example of several similar chains on the lunar far side. Age relationships relative to Mendeleev Crater indicate that it is a younger feature that may have developed over a fault parallel to the lunar grid system. The dumbbell shape of the chain may be related to a differential stress along a fault crossing the floor that resulted in varying resistance to magma invasion.
