This unnamed crater is notable for several distinct features. It is not circular in form like most impact craters. The dark streamers are the result of rock that was melted during the impact that was sprayed out as part of the ejecta. The jumbled floor is made of rock broken during the impact mixed with impact melt and soil and has probably changed little since the crater formed. ASU-IPF-3013
