Nice renders, I think the height map is most telling - I sketched a few craters outllnes in dotted outlines. I think the upwelling of the mountain is part of the larger upwelling area (in solid outline), and because of the relatively fluffy old crater infill to the top left, it broke through at that spot. I still think the only thing that can get that kind of energy to build a plateau is an impact on the other side (Dantu) and this is the antipode. The age of the two events also seems roughly similar (newish events) P.S. Dawn just won the 2015 Collier Trophy - congrats to the team - thats a big deal! naa.aero/awards/awards-and-trophies/collier-trophy |
