Layers in crater east of Bamburg Crater

Many of the impact craters in the Northern Plains of Mars display concentric fill which is thought to have formed as part of the Vastitas Borealis Formation, which represents an enigmatic surface unit that exhibits flow morphologies at its boundary, extensive surface fracturing, tens of thousands of small mounds, and unique crater morphologies.

 

This pair of craters is located at 39.98oN, 1.75oE, to the east of the 55 km diameter impact crater Bamburg
