Definition
Ejecta edge morphology. A lobate convex, marginal ridge, at the terminus of ejecta deposits (Carr et al. 1977; Mouginis-Mark 1979; Boyce et al. 2010; Figs. 1, 2, and 3).
Cross section and geometric parameters of a rampart crater at 78.6°N, 331.5°E on Mars (After Garvin et al. 2000, modified)
