Savage is a crater on Mercury. Its name was adopted by the International Astronomical Union (IAU) in 2013, and is named for the American sculptor Augusta Savage.[1]
The scarps Blossom Rupes extend from Savage to the southern rim of Caravaggio crater.[2]
Savage is northwest of the smaller but similar Ruysch crater.
