Oblique perspective view of a crater filled with sediment
The concave depression of this crater, with a diameter of around 25 kilometres, is filled with sediments that were transported into the crater from a mountain range to the west. The once smooth surface now features deep fissures as a result of settlement movements, so that it has formed a ‘chaotic terrain’. On the internal slopes of the crater, numerous uneven areas can be seen instead of the topographic features usually found on such craters, rather more terraced, curved characteristics. These structures may indicate the original level of the sediment layers in the crater interior.
