This crater filled to the brim that eventually spilled over. Was the breach cut in a single flood, or by repeated (seasonal) outflows over many years?
At HiRISE resolution, we can learn about possible hydrologic constraints if the lip height and breach geometry are determined. When we want to figure out these kinds of details, we often try to get a stereo pair in order to make both an anaglyph (3D) image along with a digital terrain model.
This observation covers a portion of the western side of the impact crater, which is located northeast of the Argyre impact basin in the Southern Hemisphere of Mars.
