Description
Klaproth is an easy to identify crater, but there isn't much to see once you've found it. Like many craters in the southern highlands it is old with worn rim, smoothed out terraces, flat floor that is obviously younger than the rim, and no central peak. On it's floor, low Sun images show some low mare-type ridges which are probably draped over pre-existing floor craters buried by the smooth material. Klaproth has been overlapped by Casatus to the south, which make the pair of craters easily recognized when observing.

Martin Heinrich Klaproth (1 December 1743 – 1 January 1817) was a German chemist and mineralogist. Klaproth was the leading chemist of his time in Germany. An exact and conscientious worker, he did much to improve and systematize the processes of analytical chemistry and mineralogy. He was the first to discover uranium, zirconium and titanium, and to characterize them as distinct elements, and he elucidated the composition of numerous substances, including compounds of the then newly recognized elements: tellurium, strontium, cerium and chromium.
