Large impacts produce uplifted central structures, either peaks, or pits, or an uplifted peak with a central pit. This crater south of Aurorae Chaos has a central pit exposing bedrock units with diverse colors, indicating various rock compositions.
This crater includes clay-rich minerals identified by the CRISM instrument on MRO. The enhanced-color cutout is over the eastern half of the central pit.
