Geological Chronicle
Pingré is a lunar impact crater spanning 88.43 kilometers in diameter near the southwest limb of the Moon, situated beyond the large crater Phocylides. It lies northwest of the huge walled basin Bailly and east of the smaller Graff. Due to its location, the crater appears foreshortened when viewed from Earth.
The outer rim of the crater has become worn due to minor impacts, leaving its features rounded and irregular. The wall is nearly disintegrated in the southeast and is overlain by a small crater along the eastern rim, while the rim is also low and slumped to the northwest.
The interior floor is relatively level, marked near the midpoint by several small craters where a central peak may once have existed. These craters may be secondaries from Hausen or a more distal crater. Pingré lies southeast of the Mendel-Rydberg Basin, a 630-kilometer-wide impact basin of Nectarian age.
