Srīpur is a
Martian impact crater, approximately in diameter. It is located at -31.1°S, 100.8°W, southeast of the crater
Dinorwic and northeast of the crater
Tugaske. It is named for
Sripur, a town in
Bangladesh, and its name was adopted by the
International Astronomical Union in 1991.
According to a surface age map of Mars based on
US Geological Survey data, the area around Srīpur is from the
Noachian epoch
The Noachian is a geologic system and early time period on the planet Mars characterized by high rates of meteorite and asteroid impacts and the possible presence of abundant surface water. The absolute age of the Noachian period is uncertai ...
, which places the area's age at 3.8 to 3.5 billion years ago.
The crater floor is relatively flat, except for a small craterlet toward east of the center, and is approximately above zero altitude in elevation. Its rim averages about above zero altitude, making it deep. The area south of the crater is about the same elevation as the crater floor.
