In this cutout, a few relatively deep depressions, partly filled with dark sand, are visible in the region known as Cerberus Fossae. These are pit craters formed by collapse as normal faulting progressed.

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: In this cutout, a few relatively deep depressions, partly filled with dark sand, are visible in the region known as Cerberus Fossae. These are pit craters formed by collapse as normal faulting progressed. The largest pit crater is about 110 meters (360 feet) wide and about 300 meters (980 feet) long. Steep scarps along the perimeters of the pit craters and the linear margins of the Cerberus Fossae provide a cross-sectional view of the near-surface strata.

Image cutout is less than 5 km (3 mi) across and the spacecraft altitude was 277 km (172 mi). For full observation details including images with scale bars, visit the source link.
