The most distinctive feature about this crater is very dark interior floor that is one of the lowest [[albedo]] features on the [[Moon]]. The surface has been covered in [[basalt]]ic- [[lava]] and has only been exposed to a minimal amount of deposition from impact ''ejecta''. The floor is nearly featureless, with ~~only~~crater aof 2.5 ~~tiny~~km ~~craterlet~~diameter near the center and few other even more diminutive impacts. The outer rim is low and nearly circular, and has not been significantly reshaped by impacts. Crüger is a crater of Lower (Early) [[Imbrian]] age.<ref>[https://pubs.er.usgs.gov/publication/pp1348 The geologic history of the Moon]. [[USGS]] Professional Paper 1348. By [[Don Wilhelms\|Don E.
