Description
Bragg is a crater of the pre-Nectarian period (~ 4.6 to 3.92 bn years) and lies just south-east to the Lorentz Basin -- a 365 kilometre-wide basin of the same period. The crater's rim is well-worned down through age, and several impacts have re-shaped it beyond your regular, circular-looking crater -- particularly on its eastern section where subsequent craters have formed (the largest being Bragg H). The floor region hasn't escaped impacts either, with just one relatively large craters (~ 15 km across) in the centre, and several others on a more smaller scale all around.- JohnMoore2
