This is an elongated crater formation, with a secondary feature bulging out along the southeast rim. The inner walls of this crater have a higher
albedo than the surrounding
terrain, which is indicative of a relatively youthful formation. This crater was previously designated Herodotus D, a satellite crater of Herodotus, before being named by the
IAU.
