Try to translate the Latin sentence he included in his description text at the bottom (expend it by clicking (more) ) :
"carpent tua poma nepotes"
This is a link to the Apollo 15 camera sweeps of the moon area which the Iszak crater is positioned in :

You can download a HUGE 17014 x 5744 Pixel jpeg 300 dpi picture of it with much more detail :

Warning : better have broadband ISP connectivity, a 56K modem will take forever!
You can find the Izsak crater in this huge moon chart picture at Latitude / Longitude : 19° S / 117.5° E and it is covered within the camera sweep
depicted by one of the many concave shaped red outlined camera sweeps on the chart, named 9625 on top and 9630 at the bottom of that concave area.
Your horizontal screen slider must be first set at 117 E at the bottom of that chart, then you slide your vertical screen slider up till the 20° S
position on the chart. You'll see the Izsak crater positioned just down left of Fermi at Latitude / Longitude : 19° S / 117.5° E.
Appollo 15 crew took the following stereo pair pictures from 117 km altitude, with a sun elevation of 27° :

If you can lay your hands on expensive photo stereo equipment, you will have a much better view of the shadow depths, in 3D.
Some one here at this forum could however cut and paste the exact same box out of the 2 photo's with the anomaly in the centre, and post them beside
each other. Then a simple 3D colour spectacle with red and green glass in it will give you the cheap solution for the costly NASA equipment.
The left photo must be overlayed with a red tint, the right photo with a green tint by the poster. Or reverse the colour overlays, if your spectacles
have different colour glasses for left or right.
Anomaly :
It looks to me as a strange play of shadows. Sun elevation 27°, remember that sharp angle.
The real form of the "ship" is a "boomerang" shaped magma extrusion.
The shadow of the cliff to the north of the elbow of the "boomerang" extrusion gives the impression of a nose cone above that shadow, while in fact
the extrusion bends down further around. Take notice of the sun's position, and thus all the shadows. The cliff's shadow is in the right place, in
the bottom of the elbow.
I'm however still open for discussion, since it erupts a lot of useful information, not very well known to a moon-illiterate public.
