| Lat. | 44.9608 |

| Desc. | Large diamond-shaped pit with not-quite-vertical walls. The SW end is a slope from surroundings to floor. The W wall is covered by a debris slope, and the N wall has an overhang a few meters deep, with a back wall apparently visible. The apparent "funnel" is 40-60m deep (of the full pit's ~100m depth from the surrounding surface), there is no clear transition point to vertical wall, although there is an overhang point at ~60m depth. There is a graben ~1km NW, and a much large potential pit ~10 km WSW on the other side of the graben. |
