What is "lamont"

Lamont is a system of low ridges in the surface of Mare Tranquillitatis that is most likely a submerged impact crater. It is located to the southeast of the crater Arago.

Lamont has the shape of two roughly concentric but incomplete rings with an inner diameter of 60 km and an outer diameter of 120 km. (The official diameter is 75 km.) Radial ridges radiate away from the center of Lamont, except in the east and west quadrants. The ridge system is only a few hundred meters in height, with a width that averages 5 km but is thicker to the southeast. This feature is only readily visible at low angles of illumination, when shadows highlight the terrain features.

This feature is associated with a mass concentration ( mascon), a sub-surface region of higher-density material.

Lamont or LaMont may refer to:

Lamont was a stoner rock trio founded in 1998 in Allston, Massachusetts, USA.

Critics have described their sound as raw 1970s AC/DC style rock and roll mixed with Iggy Pop vocals and bluesy punk. They have opened for artists including Mojo Nixon, Reverend Horton Heat, and Drive-By Truckers as well as appearing at the Emissions from the Monolith festivals. Their song "Hotwire", from their 2002 album Thunder Boogie, was included in the video game Tony Hawk's Underground.

Lamont broke up in 2007, with lead singer/guitarist Pete Knipfing playing in Mess with the Bull, a psychobilly/ death metal band that includes members of Scissorfight. The band played a reunion show in October 2011.

Lamont (, sometimes ), also spelt LaMont , is a surname with several different origins, one Scottish and Northern Irish, the other in French.

The Old Norse name Logmaðr is composed to two elements: log which is plural of lag meaning "law" (from leggja meaning "to lay down") + maðr meaning "man."
