Lunar #98: Imbrium lava flows
The difficulty with the Imbrium lava flows is to be sure what Wood meant by this. Refer to Wood's list (2004a and 2012a) and to his notes (cf. Hardwick 2013a). The notes give as main clue the longitude and latitude as −22.0°, +32.8°. He writes:
I was not dead sure where these lava flows were but I scanned every inch of Mare Imbrium and found some raised plains, similar to white lines that lie between crater Lambert and le Verrier. I could also detect a slight one touching crater Carlini D.
The Atlas virtuel de la Lune is similarly inconclusive.
