Don't know if we've seen that exact area but doesn't it look like a pebbly beach? (Well - apart from the small crater..... ::) )


Do you irregulars too?

Go out and point your camera up!

Secondary field and Tertiary boulder fields.









This is the largest impact in the general area (and perhaps the culprit?)

I don't see any boulders in that last image - what are we looking at?

My bad. :-[ I was looking through this area and zoomed in, the white areas are lots of individual boulder fields, and i was wondering if someone wants to look at them, or do you want me to look through it ?

Maybe you should post zoomed-in images if they show the boulders.

Hi,
I have just found this collection of boulders in a image with otherwise has few interesting features.
The details of the image are (I don't think it's been entered here before):
ID: AMZ1002j8f
Latitude: 19.8104°
Longitude: 30.8799°
Sun Angle: -70.85°
Scale: 0.52 meters / pixel

The boulders in question are on the right side of the image with two large boulders showing and lots of smaller ones:

Its image is

Looks like these boulders may have been thrown out when an ancient crater was formed - which you can see from this zoomed out image of the same area:

I call this "Boulder smash crater" Since it's more boulder field than crater, i posted it here.



Region of interest:
Lower-Left corner (lon, lat) = ( 3.36412, 15.70011)
Upper-Right corner (lon, lat) = ( 3.38210, 15.71208)

Projected extent (in cartographic coordinates):
width (km) = 0.55
height (km) = 0.36
perimeter (km) = 1.82
area (sq. km) = 0.20


WAC monochrome 100mpp mosaic draped on top of the global WAC-derived elevation model.
Scene elevation (meters): min = -1314.00, max = -1307.00
