Emma Dean Crater is a small impact crater in Meridiani Planum on Mars that was visited by the Opportunity rover from sols 929 to 943. The much larger Victoria Crater lies about 100m to the east. Emma Dean lies directly on top of the ejecta blanket of the Victoria Crater and could therefore expose material originating from deep inside Victoria.The crater is named after the "Emma Dean", one of the boats in John Wesley Powell's Grand Canyon expedition.
