Praxiteles is a crater on Mercury.MESSENGER’s high-resolution images obtained during the mission’s second Mercury flyby have revealed a number of irregularly shaped depressions on the floor of Praxiteles crater making it a pit-floor crater. The colors near these depressions in WAC images are similar to those near volcanoes discovered during the mission’s first Mercury flyby along the inner edge of the Caloris basin.
