Abstract

We propose a survey of a rocky region in the north-east part of Sudan, using the satellite imagery from Google Maps. In particular we analyse the region which lies to the north of Nakasib Suture. Images reveal craters and ring complexes. To enhance their features, images are processed with a method based on fractional calculus. Two of these structures are proposed as possible impact craters.
