This is a heavily worn crater formation with an outer rim that has been rendered into an uneven, somewhat circular range due to impact erosion.

The interior floor has low ridges and uneven areas most likely as the result of large deposits of ejecta.

There is a cluster of small craters near the midpoint of the interior, and the worn remains of a pair of older impacts in the north and west.

This crater takes its name from the Cyrillic rendering of Friedrich Zander, an early developer of rocket engines.

By convention these features are identified on lunar maps by placing the letter on the side of the crater midpoint that is closest to Tsander.
