Geological Chronicle
Located deep in the southern hemisphere on the Moon's far side, Numerov is an impact crater measuring 105.39 kilometers across. Geologically, the formation dates to the Nectarian period. It is attached to the larger and younger crater Antoniadi to the west, with the walled plain Zeeman situated to the east-southeast and the old crater Crommelin to the east-northeast.
The rim and inner wall of Numerov have undergone considerable erosion, leaving much of the eastern side pock-marked by small craterlets. The outer rampart of Antoniadi overlies the inner wall and part of the western interior floor, while Antoniadi's ejecta partly covers the western interior. A small, heavily eroded crater attaches to the exterior to the southeast, while Numerov Z is nearly connected to the northern rim.
The interior floor of Numerov is relatively level, featuring a central peak formation at its midpoint and low ridges just to the south. Across the northeastern floor, a few gouge-like grooves cut through the surface.
