(IAU Directions) WARGENTIN.--A most remarkable member of the Phocylides group, flanking the S.W. side of Schickard. Unlike the majority of lunar formations, its floor is raised considerably above the surrounding region, so that it resembles a shallow oval dish turned upside down. It is 54 miles in diameter, and, except on the S.E. (where it abuts on Phocylides b, and for some distance is bounded by its wall), it has only a border of very moderate dimensions. On the N.W. slope of this ghostly rampart I have seen a distinct little crater, and two much larger depressions on the N.E. slope. There are some low ridges on the floor, radiating from a nearly central point, which have been aptly compared to a bird's foot.

Nomenclature
- Named for Pehr Wilhelm Wargentin (September 22, 1717 – December 12, 1783), a Swedish astronomer. When Pehr Wargentin was 12 years old he observed a (total) lunar eclipse which would spark his life-long interest in Astronomy. Wargentin made studies on the moons of Jupiter and published his first paper on the topic in 1741 in the Acta of the Royal Society of Sciences in Uppsala.
- According to Whitaker (p. 218), this name was introduced by Schröter.
