Bisected Crater, Mars. This impact crater is cut by a fracture that is part of the Cerberus Fossae. The exposure of stratigraphy in the crater walls coupled with the exposure of stratigraphy in the fracture may shed light on the nature of near-surface stratigraphic units at this location. The fracture also cuts young lavas. It is not clear whether the crater or the lavas are older. Image shows terrain less than 5km. A unique optimised version of NASA HIRISE imagery.
