This image shows layered sedimentary rocks and ripples that fill and surround Kasimov crater. These layered deposits may have formed through the accumulation of sediment that was transported into this crater by blowing wind.

The crater interior contains a sequence of layers that are remnants of the material that originally infilled the crater. These sediments form an extensive deposit that once covered the floor of the surrounding larger crater.
