Atomoid: That's the one I'm suggesting but I'm using nothing more sophisticated than a school protractor laid on my computer screen. I'm awaiting confirmation or just as likely correction by someone with better tools. I note that this crater has wind streaks extending southeastward from each side suggesting there is significant relief there. The larger crater farther east is more eroded and furthermore lies in a hollow so I don't expect to see it.
[Incidentally 'Rockaway' is not that crater but the much smaller fresh one that appears as a dark spot at the top of your image almost directly above the arrowed feature. If you're interested you can find its original ID in post 259 of 'Distant Vistas' and a good view of it from near Concepcion in post 201 of that same thread.] EDIT: And the contour map in post 123. |

Checking the latest images I see a feature which could be that crater just below the horizon and just to the right of the foreground slope: http://qt.exploratorium.edu/mars/opportuni...MZP2417R1M1.JPG |
