The surface about Taruntius has an unusual number of
ghost craters and lava-flooded features, especially to the southwest in the Mare Fecunditatis. , facing northwest The outer rim of Taruntius is shallow, but forms a veined, complex rampart in the nearby mare, especially to the north and southwest. The rim is broken in the northwest by the small crater
Cameron. The inner rim face lacks
terraces, but in the interior is an unusual concentric inner rim that is heavily worn and irregular. This is a floor-fractured crater, possibly created by an uplift of mare material from beneath the interior. There is a low central peak complex in the middle of the relatively flat interior floor. There are also some slender
rilles that are concentric to the rim. , facing west The crater has a pair of faint dark patches. One patch is located just south of the central peak and the other falls on the sides of the northern rim near Cameron. These were likely created by deposits of volcanic ash from small vents. Taruntius has a
ray system with a radius of over 300 kilometers. Due to these rays, Taruntius has been mapped as part of the
Copernican System, but this dating has been disputed. with the telescopes Meade LX200 14" and Lumenera Skynyx 2-1 ==Satellite craters==
