Danielson Crater is about 67 kilometers in diameter, located in the southwest Arabia Terra region of Mars. The rock here was formed millions or billions of years ago when loose sediments settled into the crater, one layer at a time, and were later cemented in place. Cyclical variations in the sediment properties made some layers more resistant to erosion than others.
