is a small
Lunar Crater located on the western part of the
Oceanus Procellarum , to the west of
Herodotus Crater . The rim is relatively sharp-edged and relatively free from impact wear. The inner walls have slumped to form a shelf around much of the sides. The interior floor is somewhat irregular, but free from impacts of note.
This crater lies in a relatively flat and featureless part of the
Mare , although a
Ray Streak passes along the southeast edge of the rim, making it easy to identify. A low ridge runs from the north rim of the crater to the north. Within the crater is a low central rise.
By convention these features are identified on lunar maps by placing the letter on the side of the crater mid-point that is closest to Schiaparelli crater.
The following craters have been renamed by the
IAU .
