The high level of erosion of the crater suggests the old age of the approximately 70-kilometre crater. Landslides can be seen on the inner edge of the crater. The crater floor is no longer bowl-shaped but rather almost flat due to entering deposits. Most striking in this image is an extensive area of blocky, so-called ‘chaotic terrain’, as well as very bright areas where, presumably, the outcropping rock was laid bare and emerged without being covered in dust and sand.
