Strange Feature at the Center of Mondamin Crater was created by Todd

Dawn's LAMO image 37 shows a crater at the larger southern hemisphere of Ceres. At the crater center is a partially square depression surrounded by features at a higher elevation. A lot of impact craters have mountainous regions at the center, here it appears opposite to that. Like many features on Ceres, it has the appearance of having been partially excavated, plus there is a considerable amount of "waffle" marks present. Enlargement below.

Thank you to everyone who has stuck by the YouTube channel and to all of our admins and forum users here on the channel. They really have kept the website current while I have been busy taking care of things in my personal life. I promised that the next video would be a long one and have a LOT to look at. You can get lost in these Gigapans and I really hope that you do! I spent a lot of time stitching these together and making sure that they were the best quality that I could get them. SOL 1448 really has been a goldmine for anomaly hunters and those people who are just hobbiest. I really hope you enjoy this one and expect much more to come from the latest batches of images!
