Description
Dale lies just south of the Smythii Basin -- a 740 kilometre-wide basin of the pre-Nectarian period (~ 4.6 to 3.92 bn years). The rim of the crater looks relatively worn all around, however, while its northern sector shows signs of an old impact event on the outer, northern edge of the crater, the southern sector has a similarly-sized impact event where a crater about a third of the diamater of Dale itself has formed on top of the rim. The floor of Dale show little signs of change and, overall, the crater doesn't have any significancant detail of note. - JohnMoore2
