Emily at The Planetary Science Blog has created a mosaic of images from the ASU Mars Global Data website, showing an unusually elongated crater on Mars, probably formed by a very low angle oblique impact (ie, less than 10 degrees from horizontal).
Emily makes the case that the impacting body was a tiny Martian moonlet that fragmented on entry in the atmosphere.
