Not far from perfectly circular
Rasied rim Similar to many other round-raised-rimed-impactey-type-features. I don't think the thought that it was anything else would have crossed peoples minds. Doug |

Doug Doug, if you look back about a year or so ago, I believe I was suggesting that Eagle crater may well have been a sinkhole. Ever seen a sinkhole? They're not far from perfectly circular, and they're similar to many other round-impactey-type-features, and if you leave one in a dusty place for a few million years, aeolian deposition will raise an irregular rim around it... That said, I think the odds of Eagle being an impact crater as opposed to a sinkhole are in the range of 80-20. -the other Doug -------------------- “The trouble ain't that there is too many fools, but that the lightning ain't distributed right.” -Mark Twain
