Dawn LAMO Image 110: Crater Morphology or Ancient Structure? was created by Todd

Dawn's LAMO image 110 shows part of a "steep-walled" crater rim somewhere on Ceres. Part of the crater bottom is visible near the image edge and the formation bears comparison to a collapsing large square structure. There is a ribbon formation that comes all the way down the crater wall to intersect with the square and seems more consolidated and uniform than how I would expect random crater landslide material to appear. Like other crater features on Ceres , it looks like it was once excavated. 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!
