The ejecta morphology and distribution as well as the interior materials of the 30-km-diameter, Necho lunar crater is discussed and the effects of regional preimpact topography on the formation structure and modification of the crater are described. Three types of ejecta: hummocky, lineated, and smooth, that are concentrated in a band extending from the rim crest to a distance of less than one crater diameter are examined. The crater's interior, divided into floor units of textured, bubbled, and smooth material is analyzed and hypotheses of their origin are presented. The last area of study is the preimpact setting, characterized by a series of large, degraded, pre-Nectarian craters. Results showed that the Necho, in comparison with surrounding craters, was the freshest, insuring that the data from its excavation was preserved without a significant amount of degradation.
