Ray material from the fresh crater described
in figures 98
to 100
covers an old, degraded 12-km
crater located a few tens of kilometers farther
east ( Figure
99 ). The light linear streaks and pointed
markings are the rays from the fresh crater. In this picture the light
material overlies dark regolith. Fine linear depressions (A) in the light
patches are chains of secondary impact craters. They are associated with
most of the light patches, and in some places (as at B), lie at their origin,
thus showing that much of the ray material may be composed of local material
disturbed by secondary impacts. In some places no such association is obvious,
and the rays may consist of material ejected from the primary crater. -B.K.L.
