Tags: Crater.

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 it.
