Note the dislocated mass of terrain on the sides. It suggests a perpendicular impact;
Judging by the shape of the crater it would be expected that the meteor would have had a center of gravity closer to the right end rather than the left (in this image);
This would have made it to hit the planet surface with the heavier part first, instead of sideways, but this could be possibly justified by an uneven density distribution inside the meteor;
Similar craters exist on the planet's surface:

What is indeed intriguing is the crater lip on the right side, it's interrupted;
On the surface of the terrain on the right, outside the crater, some traces of molten rock flows marks can be observed, probably resulted at the impact;
These traces are suspiciously directional, aligned to the crater's orientation, and can be distinguished for about ~7km from the crater
also quite unexpected for such a flat area.
These are my own observations. In future I'll upload more and more interesting things seen in NASA's images, so please subscribe!
I will also add the coordinates soon; until then please try to have some fun finding them for yourself, surely you will find more interesting stuff!

DISCLAIMER: This animation is a simple illustration for the idea mentioned in my previous clip (Mars News: Intriguing elongated crater on Oudemann Sea), please take it as such. (I'm not a fan of over-speculation around unsufficient evidence or pixelated images)
