Located to the north of Cassini Crater, the objective of this observation is to confirm the presence of layers in another impact crater that are just barely visible in a Context Camera image. Traces of layers are also found outside the crater. Some straight lines near the crater may be dikes.

With this image, we can cross-dating the relative age of the impact with that of the valley system, as well as learning more about the fluvial and morphology characteristics of area.
