Is Concepción (bottom) really very different from Fram (top)? The pictures are not to the same scale, but both craters look to be in the same size and age ballpark. (Note Endurance crater behind Fram's right side.)
Here's the old UMSF Fram thread. |

Is Concepción (bottom) really very different from Fram (top)? To me Concepcion looks much fresher, with all that ejecta on the rim and farther into the rays. A crater that looks closer in age to Concepcion (but still older?) is Resolution - see the image in this post for example, or other pics in that thread.
