My OWN guess (SWAGS are allowed/encouraged here!) is a dual impact at the
exact same time with the impactors closely aligned - perhaps even touching
or loosely bound. Ejecta is squeezed out and a wall is formed at the
intersection of the two craters' point of outer wall intersection . Messier
A & B on the moon are thought to be dual impactors but they are spread apart
a bit.

Fascinating as Spock would say.

Hello List,

  Any ideas as to what went on here? Check #60 - one of the MOST unusual
crater formations I have ever seen.

All the best,

Greg

NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory manages the 2001 Mars Odyssey mission
for NASA's Office of Space Science, Washington, D.C. The Thermal Emission
Imaging System (THEMIS) was developed by Arizona State University,
Tempe, in collaboration with Raytheon Santa Barbara Remote Sensing.
The THEMIS investigation is led by Dr. Philip Christensen at Arizona State
University. Lockheed Martin Astronautics, Denver, is the prime contractor
for the Odyssey project, and developed and built the orbiter. Mission
operations are conducted jointly from Lockheed Martin and from JPL, a
division of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena.
