Gauricus (en bas à gauche) est un cratère de 80 Km et profond de 2700 m, situé au sud de la mer des Nuées (Mare Nubium) à coté de deux voisins bien connus ; pitatus au Nord et Deslandres à l’Est. Gauricus est très érodé avec une muraille fortement impactée. Les versants arrondis portent de nombreux cratères dont Gauricus A au Sud-ouest, Gauricus B & D au Sud et Gauricus G à l'Est. Le fond est plat rempli de lave avec un cratère en fer à cheval au Nord.

Gauricus is a lunar crater that is located in the rugged southern part of the Moon's near side. Nearly attached to the western rim is the heavily eroded Wurzelbauer crater, and to the north-northwest lies Pitatus crater.

The rim of this crater has become worn and eroded by subsequent impacts, resulting in a round-shouldered outer wall that is pock-marked by a number of lesser craters. The most notable of these are 'Gauricus B' and 'Gauricus D' along the couthern rim and 'Gauricus G' intruding into the eastern rim. The worn satellite crater 'Gauricus A' is attached to the exterior rim along the south-southwest.

In contrast, the interior floor is relatively level and featureless. Only the merged crater formation 'Guericus F, lying along the northern rim, marks the floor. The bottom is covered by wisps of ray material from Tycho crater to the south.
