To its southwest lies the larger crater Plinius, and to its northeast sits the Mons Argaeus mountain rise.

It has a slight central rise, and a somewhat darker floor that is nearly covered in overlapping swirl-like deposits.

Detailed examination of this crater has located what appear to be alcoves and channels along the inner rim.

It is hypothesized that micrometeorite impacts along the rim trigger dry landslides, which produce a gully-like appearance.

A similar phenomenon may be responsible for gully-like features along the inner rim of some Martian craters.
