Luna 24 landed on the moon in the southeast region of Mare Crisium, 12 deg 45 min S, 62 deg 12 min E. Photogeologic mapping results show that the material forming the plain of Mare Crisium is fairly homogeneous. Only one complex of soils is detected here, which, depending on the stratigraphic scale used, belongs to Procellarian, Upper Imbrian, or Eratosthenian formations. In general morphology the surface of Mare Crisium is similar to the other lunar Maria, so that Mare Crisium can confidently be assumed to be a vulcanogenic (basaltic) plain which has been weakly reworked by impact crater formation processes. The crater Fahrenheit is located 18 km from the landing site in the region of deep mascon forming mare. The absence of a ray system, the smooth mesorelief of the wall, and other estimates enable placing its time of formation in the first half of the Copernican period.
