    There is a circular feature in this observation that appears to
    stand above the surrounding terrain. How did it form?

    o Beautiful Blocks of Bedrock

    This image targets a 3-kilometer diameter crater that occurs
    within the ejecta blanket of the much older Bakhuysen Crater.

    .
    This image shows what looks like drag folds, where rock layers
