This approximately 8 kilometer-diameter impact crater is interesting because of the light-toned band visible in the upper slopes of the inner crater wall.

Because the light-toned materials are confined to a distinct elevation within the crater, it is possible that it represents a well-defined layer exposed in the crater walls.

NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, a division of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, Calif., manages the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter for NASA's Science Mission Directorate, Washington. Lockheed Martin Space Systems is the prime contractor for the project and built the spacecraft. The HiRISE camera was built by Ball Aerospace and Technology Corporation and is operated by the University of Arizona. The image data were processed using the U.S. Geological Survey’s ISIS3 software.
