Figure 3.

Pre-impact target conditions affected the formation of the peak ring in the ~320-km-diameter Schrödinger basin. In this view oriented with the south pole toward the top of the image, the peak ring collapsed below the level of the impact melt and breccia fill in the southeast quadrant. Also, differences in crustal thickness affected the morphology of the peak ring, producing bilateral asymmetry.
