R1: This area has a rough surface, especially between Hypatia and Theophilus. A particular raised rough area between Torricelli and Theophilus - perhaps remnants of a crater wall (?). Toricelli appears to be shaped like a piece of candy corn.
C1: Torricelli looks like a crater within another well worn crater. One of the walls was observed as obliterated due to an overlapping impact.
