Not all craters are sharply defined. There are plenty of ancient, battered examples, 50km being one. It lies (Sea of Nectar) and forms a close pair with 41km to the west. When we say close, we mean very close, both craters apparently sharing what looks at first glance a common section of rim. However, Capella is the one that overlaps Isidorus, the former being slightly the younger of the pair.
