Maurolycus and Barocius both had terraced walls. Especially visible were the SE sides that seemed steeper than the other sides. Maurolycus had a central peak plus at least 4 very small craters within. There is a flat area in the SW that may be the remnant of a crater it impacted (???). Barocius looked like a rabbit’s face. Almond-shaped face with 2 ears – craters B & C. The floor didn’t appear smooth. The northern rim of C seemed very shallow. The rim of B seems very shallow as if it is disappearing after its impact.
Craters: Barocius, Maurolycus
