Diameter of the crater is 61 km. Its mean depth is about 3.8 km, but the full range of heights (from the lowest point of the floor to the highest point of the rim) reaches 5.2 km.[1]
Age of this crater is estimated as Late Imbrian.[2] It has a slightly eroded rim, and still possesses some terrace or ledge structures along the inner wall. A small crater (Nušl E) is attached to the exterior rim along the east-northeast. The interior floor is relatively level, with an elongated central peak near the midpoint. Nušl contains only small craterlets, the biggest being about 1.5 km. It has no lava, rilles, or ray system.
