I wonder how this rock picked up that tidy circular impression?

In the absence of any other data, I'd guess it's a very small crater from a very small impactor. I bet the rock is pretty soft or unconsolidated, though, to record a crater so nicely without being blown to bits by such an impact... -the other Doug -------------------- “The trouble ain't that there is too many fools, but that the lightning ain't distributed right.” -Mark Twain

This is the sort of impact feature that may exist on the Moon, but never Mars. |
