interior, and there are several in the southeast part of the floor. In the western half of the floor is a chain of tiny craters named the Catena
Mendeleev. These form a line that trends from near the southwest part of the interior, then tangentially grazes the western rim of the crater Richards. The line of craters points directly to

The remainder of the interior floor is relatively flat, at least in comparison to the rugged blast terrain radiating away from the exterior. There are, however, a number of small craters within the interior in addition to those mentioned above. A cluster of these craters lie near the midpoint of the

By convention these features are identified on lunar maps by placing the letter on the side of the crater midpoint that is closest to
Mendeleev. In this case, the only satellite crater is Mendeleev P, which lies within southern Mendeleev itself.

The nearly level interior of
Mendeleev contains a number of smaller crater formations which have been given names. These form a rough pentagon formation that covers much of the interior floor. Along the western inner floor, the craters
