This material was deposited after the crater formed. Crommelin Crater is one a several craters in the vicinity that contain large mounds of material on the crater floor. Crommelin Crater is 114 km (71 miles) in diameter and is located near Meridiani Planum. The THEMIS VIS camera contains 5 filters. The data from different filters can be combined in multiple ways to create a false color image. These false color images may reveal subtle variations of the surface not easily identified in a single band image.
