A question :
The crater seems to have a flat lip. It seems more like a depression than a crater. The moon craters have a raised lip.
Why doesn't this have a raised lip?

I guess that's the problem with science, it gives you more questions than answers.

Doesn't Mars have an atmosphere? In which case, it might have had a lip which was eroded over time.
