Mare Serenitatis Wrinkle Ridge
Dorsum Buckland extends across Mare Serenitatis, featuring ridges 200 to 300 meters high formed by compressional stresses, possibly over buried basin structures.
Dorsum Buckland is a wrinkle ridge that extends 369.13 kilometers across Mare Serenitatis.
The ridges of Dorsum Buckland stand 200 to 300 meters high. They were formed by compressional stresses near the center of the basin, possibly over buried basin structures.
