Crater with light-toned deposits in the southern highland Margaritifer Terra region

Crater with light-toned deposits in the southern highland Margaritifer Terra region
Located in the Margaritifer Terra region, this crater has a diameter of approximately 70 kilometres and a flat floor surrounded by a very eroded, almost encrusted crater rim, the inner wall of which is partly covered by the remains of earlier landslides. Terrace-like steps are still visible in the crater rim. The smooth crater floor in the north-western section transitions into blocky, ‘chaotic’ material in the western part. Some light-toned deposits are visible in the southeast of the crater, where presumably outcropping solid rock is exposed.
