Layered Materials in Low Albedo Region near Deepest Point of Crater

Layered Materials in Low Albedo Region near Deepest Point of Crater

Near the Deepest Point
We acquired this image to study layered materials in a low albedo (light-reflective) region near deepest point of an unnamed impact crater north of the Becquerel Crater. There might be possible embedded craters here, which is interesting because the host crater is relatively young, and the layers could be lake sediments.
