Cat #------Name----Certainty---Long---Lat-----Diameter---Radar Swath-----------------------------------------------------------
Ksa is perhaps the freshest and most lunar-like impact crater on Titan. It has a complete elevated rim with dark floor and a bright nearly circular central peak. The crater has an extensive ejecta deposit that overlies older terrains, including somewhat bright dunes to the bottom-right. But dark dunes embay and cover the ejecta to the left. A dark river apparently cuts thru the ejecta on the right. Both above and below Ksa there are delicate radial lineations showing that original deposition features of the ejecta have not yet been eroded away. Ksa is either a very young crater, or erosion/modification processes on Titan - other than cover by dunes - is very slow.
