Amontons is a tiny Lunar Crater in the western half of the Mare Fecunditatis . It is a circular, cup-shaped formation that has been excavated out of the level surface by the impact, and is the same dark hue as the surrounding Mare . When the sun is at a low angle, multiple Ghost-craters are visible in the Mare surface to the south-southeast and north of Amontons crater.
