This crater has an asymmetrical shape with an outward bulge along the north-northeastern rim.
The resulting crater is roughly egg-shaped, with a wide ledge along the north-northwestern floor.
The remaining crater is a bowl-shaped feature with simple slopes along the inner walls and a nearly featureless interior floor.
The outer rim has not been significantly eroded, and is marked only by a tiny craterlet along the southern edge.
By convention these features are identified on lunar maps by placing the letter on the side of the crater midpoint that is closest to Stein.
