Situated next to a much larger and older crater, this candidate impact site formed at most between August 2016 and April 2020. From Context Camera data, there is a large dark blast zone in a follow-up image that was not present in an earlier one. Other images might have been acquired that narrow this range but were unavailable to the CTX team at the time this target suggestion was created.
