A small dome in the center of the crater is 3 km across and about 340 meters height. It is named Cerealia Tholus and is covered by bright salt deposits named Cerealia Facula. The group of thinner salt deposits to the east are named Vinalia Faculae [sic]. In July 2018, NASA released a comparison of physical features, including Occator, found on Ceres with similar ones present on Earth.
