This feature south of the Apennine Mts. and north of the Hyginus Rille looks like some low mountains or gullies,I don't find it in my limited moon material, it is near the center of this photo taken on the morning of 8/7,6"achro handheld Fuji digital.

Hi! "Bruise": well-named! My guess is that it is part of the Hyginus rill/crater formations in Mare Vaporum. See if it fits with http://freespace.virgin.net/philip.masding/Moon%202.htm

Other estimates?
