A pristine, double-ring impact crater, Lowell, is south of the Thaumasia highlands in the southern hemisphere of Mars. The diameter of the outer ring is 195 km, and the inner ring is about 85 km. The crater and its asymmetric ejecta blanket, which extends from the rim an average of 180 km to the northwest and southeast and 110 km to the northeast and southwest, are superposed on an Early Hesperian smooth unit of the plateau sequence. Numerous secondaries from the Lowell event are observed on all surrounding Middle Noachian to Early Amazonian rock outcrops as much as 805 km from the crater rim (to the northwest).
