Edited topographic base map of the Moon published by the U.S. Geological Survey91. Mercator projection centered at 0o longitude and between latitudes ± 57°. Color elevation scale provided. Pink-filled circles represent candidate Mg-suite detections (pink spinel, olivine, orthopyroxene) and white-filled circles are craters examined with no discernable detection of Mg-suite, all from the orbital remote sensing of 164 fresh and undisturbed crater central peaks across the surface of the Moon21.
