Geological Chronicle
Meton is a lunar compound formation spanning 124.7 kilometers near the northern lunar limb. The structure consists of several merged crater rings that have been flooded with basalt, forming the remnant of a walled plain in the shape of a clover leaf. Situated at 73.57° N, 19.63° E, the formation is viewed from a low angle and foreshortened.
Adjacent impact features surround its perimeter: the crater Barrow is attached to the southwest rim, Scoresby lies to the northwest, and Baillaud and Euctemon sit to the east. Linear troughs in the southern rim are associated with ejecta from the formation of the Imbrium basin.
