LO-IV-184H The 29-km depression just below Reimarus is Reimarus A. The similar depression in the upper right is unnamed, as is the prominent 14-km diameter crater on the floor of Reimarus. The linear groove running into the frame at the lower left is the eastern terminus of [/Vallis%20Rheita Vallis Rheita].

Additional Information
- Depth data from [/Kurt%20Fisher%20crater%20depths Kurt Fisher database]
- Westfall, 2000: 3.05 km
- From the shadows in LO-IV-184H, the west rim of Reimarus seems to have an irregular height ranging from about 2250-3370 m.
- Satellite crater Reimarus A is on the [/ALPO%20list%20of%20bright%20ray%20craters ALPO list of bright ray craters].
- Given that Reimarus A is the rather old, degraded crater straddling Reimarus' south rim, it seems likely that this is a misprint referring instead either to the unnamed young crater on Reimarus' floor, or (much more likely) to the fresh young and bright crater Reimarus H, located a short distance to the southeast. Reimarus H is small and bright enough to have served as a selenodetic control point. In the [/ULCN#ULCN_1994 1994 ULCN] its position is listed as 49.240°S/62.217°E. - JimMosher JimMosher
- Reimarus R a pre-Nectarian crater ([/Wilhelms%2C%201987 Wilhelms, 1987])
Nomenclature
- Named for Nicolai Reymers Baer (c. 1550-c. 1600), a German mathematician.
- According to [/Whitaker Whitaker] (p. 224), this name was introduced by [/Schmidt Schmidt].
