Cuvier is a lunar crater on the southern part of the Moon’s near side. It is attached to the east-southeast rim of the unusually shaped formation Heraclitus. To the northeast is the crater Clairaut.The rim of this crater has been worn and eroded by subsequent impacts leaving an outer wall that has been rounded and diminished in prominence. There is a small but notable crater pair lying across the northern rim and two other smaller craters lie along the east and south rims.
