Crater with Thick Ejecta and Mound in Center

Crater with Thick Ejecta and Mound in Center

X Marks the Crater
The objective of this observation is to examine an odd crater in the ejecta of a larger crater. This small crater has thin rim, and its ejecta seems rather thick for a crater of its size. It has a mound in the center that looks like it’s marked with an X. This scene is also visible in Context Camera data.
