Light-Toned Layers in Crater Wall

This approximately 8 kilometer-diameter impact crater is interesting because of the light-toned band visible in the upper slopes of the inner crater wall.

Because the light-toned materials are confined to a distinct elevation within the crater, it is possible that it represents a well-defined layer exposed in the crater walls.
