View on Wikipediafrom Wikipedia



Dorsum Buckland is a large wrinkle ridge at 20°24′N 12°48′E / 20.4°N 12.8°E in Mare Serenitatis on the Moon, 369 km long. It was named after British geologist William Buckland in 1976.[1]
Dorsum Buckland's ridges are 200 to 300 meters high and were formed by compressional stresses near the center of the basin, possibly over buried basin structures.[2]
