- The LPI's Hi-Res scan of Lunar Orbiter 4's photograph LOIV-189-H2 shows Lavoisier near the frame's lower margin, with C.A.Wood's 48th Concentric Crater (the 48th item in his list of 1978) on Lavoisier's floor.
- Lunar Orbiter 4's photograph LOIV-183-H2 (immediately east of the above mentioned LOIV-189-h2), shows Concentric Crater N°45, west of Lavoisier A, located on a small system of low ridge-like hills.

Description
This Lunar Orbiter IV image reveals a wide wreath of rilles and churned up rocks that is more intense than others of the lunar nearside. The nearby crater Lavoisier F (bottom right) is somewhat similar (and has a domed floor and a string of secondary craters that don’t seem to come from Orientale). Lavoisier and a number of other rille-cut craters along this marshy western margin of Oceanus Procellarum are floor-fractured craters. Remember that FFC are normal impact craters deformed by the rise of magma under them, leading to uplifted floors, rilles, and various other aspects of volcanism. And like the opposite limb FFC Humboldt, Lavoisier has dark pyroclastic deposits and a concentric crater. The pyroclastic (ashy) material must have erupted from the rilles but there are no conspicuous dark halo craters as at the FFC Atlas and Alphonsus. Notice the very narrow mare ridge-like feature along the southwest (bottom left) edge of Lavoisier F and in some places in Lavoisier. In the case of F this ridge was probably produced by the thrusting of one peice of the crater’s floor over an adjacent piece due to the uplift of the crater center. From LPOD Aug 12, 2006.

Nomenclature
Named for Antoine-Laurent de Lavoisier (August 26, 1743 – May 8, 1794), the "father of modern chemistry", prominent in the histories of chemistry, finance, biology, and economics. He stated the first version of the law of conservation of mass, co-discovered, recognized and named oxygen (1778), as well as hydrogen, introduced the metric system and wrote the first extensive list of elements.
Rimae Lavoisier (an unofficial name from D.Caes for the system of rilles on the floor of Lavoisier).
