Puiseux is the remnant of a lunar crater that has been almost completely submerged by lava flow. It is located near the south end of Mare Humorum, to the north east of the Doppelmayer crater remnant. To the south-southeast is the Vitello crater . Of the original Puiseux crater, only the rim remains above the mare surface.
By convention these features are identified on Lunar maps by placing the letter on the side of the crater mid-point that is closest to Puiseux crater.
