Tags: Crater.

Jeanne is an impact crater on Venus. The distinctive triangular shape of the ejecta indicates that the impacting body probably hit obliquely traveling from southwest to northeast. The crater is surrounded by dark material of two types. The dark area on the southwest side of the crater is covered by smooth (radar-dark) lava flows which have a strongly digitate contact with surrounding brighter flows.
