Summary

Description
English: Oblique view of part of Darío crater on Mercury. MESSENGER Narrow Angle Camera image. North is at right. Scattered hollows are visible across the crater floor. Image width is about 86 km.

Text from APL describing this image:
Of Interest: In this image of the floor of Darío basin...several features show complex cross-cutting relations. The basin floor is smooth, and probably consists of volcanic fill. Two lobate scarps can be seen: the faint example that runs from the upper right to center bottom of the image appears to abruptly end at the rim of a flooded crater; the more visible north-south-trending scarp cuts clean through the crater. By studying cross-cutting relations such as these, scientists are able to determine a sequence of formation for features like those inside Dario basin.
