Description
Boyle is a crater of the pre-Nectarian period (~ 4.6 to 3.92 bn years), and lies very close to the central region (54.2S, 168.7W) of the South Pole Aitken Basin -- a 2500 kilometre-wide basin created during the same period. The crater looks relatively fresh for its age -- displaying a sharp-ish rim all around, but whose southern parts have experienced a series of bombardment. An obvious-looking groove running from the crater's eastern rim right along towards the south-west section has formed between landslided material and a once terrace. Is the unusual-looking groove, perhaps, the result of natural slumping afterwards between the two contact points, or, have subsequent impacts in the region played, in part, a role, causing the clump of material to slide inwards further onto Boyle's floor?- JohnMoore2
