...not a dome (49.39°E 30.34°N)

At first glance the feature in the left image (Montes Taurus region) looks like a possible dome, similar to those in Mare Undarum here and here. However the high resolution Lunar Orbiter image (IV-191-h2) on the right shows the eastern edge to be sharp and irregular, which does not fit with the characteristics of a dome.
