A circular crater, about 4 kilometers in diameter and located at 24.2 degrees N, 26.4 degrees E, was discovered in Landsat images among the linear dunes of the Great Sand Sea, Egypt. The crater has a sharp and crenulated rim crest, a terraced wall, a discontinuous inner structure (approximately 1.6 kilometers in diameter), and a few rim blocks. Its morphological and morphometric characteristics are similar to those of meteorite impact craters and other circular structures on the moon and the terrestrial planets. Because of its interaction with windblown sand, it is particularly comparable with craters on Mars.
在埃及大沙海的线性沙丘中，利用陆地卫星图像发现了一个圆形陨石坑，直径约4公里，位于北纬24.2度、东经26.4度处。该陨石坑有一个尖锐且呈锯齿状的边缘嵴、一个阶梯状的坑壁、一个不连续的内部结构（直径约1.6公里）以及一些边缘碎块。其形态和形态测量特征与月球及类地行星上的陨石撞击坑和其他圆形结构相似。由于它与风沙相互作用，它与火星上的陨石坑尤为相似。
