These Clementine images are from 20-30 degrees south about 7 degrees west. You can see the so called Straight Wall or Rupes Recta is not so straight after all. It seems to be your basic linear fault with a vertical component on the left side. But the really interesting thing is the dome like object in the crater on the right side of the image. Is it solid? It certainly looks solid. What would water vapor look like? Would it present a solid appearance like this? Well one thing for sure it is a real object and it is a mystery.
