Abstract
The Crisium basin region harbors a number of interesting features, inc luding geochemical and radar anomalies, light plains units and possibl e hidden mare deposits (cryptomaria). This report presents preliminary results of a telescopic near-infrared spectral study concerning a var iety of surface units in the Crisium region. Observations were made of Mare Crisium, light plains deposits north of Taruntius crater, and th e terra associated with the Crisium basin.
