About this image

This VIS image is from the Cydonia region of Mars. It illustrates how difficult it can be to identify modified impact craters in a region of collapse pits/craters. Generally collapse craters/pits have no rims and, due to structual control, form lines. Collapse pits/craters also may coalese into scalloped-edged trenches. In this image, only the small rimmed features are likely to have formed due to impact.
