<dl><dd>Davy G Crater is an irregularly shaped crater approximately 15 km long, lying along the eastward extension of a chain of smaller craters referred to as the Davy Crater chain (fig. 18-22). All these craters appear to be relatively young (late- to post-Imbrian) and are considered by some investigators to be of volcanic origin (ref. 18-19). An unusual view of the walls of Davy G Crater under varying illumination angles is afforded in the photograph. At near-grazing Sun incidence, the partly shadowed wall has a rough, heated appearance wherein the dominant texture consists of grooves extending from rim crest to crater floor. Aside from a slight mottling, the bright sunlit walls appear smooth and resemble those of most young lunar craters viewed under high-Sun angles. This observation is in accord with the high infrared thermal response and radar reflectivity that are generally attributed to the rough and blocky interiors of young craters.</dd></dl>
