Saturnalia Fossae/sætərˈneɪliəˈfɒsə/ is a series of parallel Veneneian troughs in the northern hemisphere of the giant asteroid 4 Vesta. It is thought to be a shock fractures resulting from the impact that created Veneneia crater, which it is concentric with.[2] It is one of the longer chasms in the Solar System.
