About this work
In this complex crater (about 44-kilometers in diameter), we see bedrock in several locations from different depths in the crust. The central uplift exposes large fragments of green-toned bedrock that possibly originated from several kilometers beneath the surface. To the south of the crater, we see more of this bedrock along with material that was excavated and thrown out after the impact.
