is a
Lunar Crater that lies beyond the southeastern limb on the
Moon 's
Far Side . It is located in an irregular
Lunar Mare region named
Mare Australe , just to the east of the
Jenner Crater .
This crater has a slender inner wall and an interior floor that has been resurfaced by
Basalt ic-
Lava . The rim is somewhat worn and irregular, but retains a generally circular shape and is not overlaid by any smaller craters of significance. The interior floor is marked only by a multitude of tiny craterlets, and a small, unnamed crater in the south-southeastern section.
The exterior of the crater consists of the outer
Rampart and sections of rough terrain. This in turn is nearly enclosed by lava-flooded sections of the surface belonging to the Mare Australe. To the east of Lamb crater is 'Lamb G', a somewhat smaller, lava-flooded formation.
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 Lamb
crater.
