Marci is a small impact crater on the back of the Earth's moon . It lies about one crater diameter west of the conspicuous Jackson Crater within the bright ray system that surrounds it. The larger Fitzgerald crater can be seen in the northwest .
The crater rim of the bowl-shaped formation of Marci is approximately circular with slight bulges in the south and north. The inner walls of the crater consist of unstructured slopes that slope towards the bottom of the crater. This crater floor takes up about half the diameter of the crater.
