Petrie is a relatively small lunar impact crater that is located to the east of the much larger Fabry walled plain. To the east is the smaller Rayet crater. Most of the rim of Petrie is sharp-edged, with a deposit of scree along the base of the inner wall. There is an outward bulge to the rim along the southwest, where the surface has slumped into the interior.
