Bakhuysen Crater Ejecta with Mounds and Unit Contacts

Bakhuysen Crater Ejecta with Mounds and Unit Contacts

Bakhuysen Crater Ejecta Mounds
In the western portion of the proximal ejecta of Bakhuysen Crater, a geologic contact between two units is visible. Mapping of these units may give insight into the emplacement of ejecta for large basin impact structures on Mars. Small-scale mounds near one such contact may be hydrothermal in origin.
