To me, it appears to be an impact crater where the object hit some deep, thick, porous type soil, kept it from hitting bedrock and absorbed most of the impact energy. Almost all of the other nearby craters look like this one and have eroded over a short span of time. Only a few smaller recent craters can be found and they all look as if they stopped the impact with very little ejecta and hardly any disturbance to the impacting body. You can see the impactors as dots in their middle. On top of that, it looks like the area “flattens” itself out more frequently that area closer to bedrock. As if some tidal of other forces are at work. This should be a very interesting place to explore!
