So I decided to target individual features and try to understand what happened there, leading more easily to a general understanding of the Moon and its evolution.
Here's an example: Fracastorius (imaged at MSATT). It has a long and complicated history with the Nectaris basin and later mare flooding. Happy to discuss this kind of thing with others if there's any interest.

For many years such discussions were happening on the LPOD website run by Chuck Wood - until his retirement. The images and his expert comments are still accessible, but the discussions are not, it seems:
