Erosion around  a Crater in Hellespontus Montes

Erosion around a Crater in Hellespontus Montes
The objective of this observation is to examine erosional forms around a crater. These may or may not be related to the ejecta. Large areas are breaking up into small ones and many mounds are present. Some of the mounds seem to be have their centers breaking down. Perhaps the mounds are losing water from their cores, causing their centers to collapse.
