Other craters on Mercury's surface, such as Bashō, also exhibit both bright rays and dark halos.

In contrast, two neighboring craters have bright rays but lack dark halos.

[2] The floor of Berkel is a dark spot of low reflectance material (LRM), closely associated with hollows.

[3] Berkel lies within the much larger and older crater Ellington, which is to the southeast of Derain.

Both Derain and Ellington lie within a much older, 730-km-diameter, unnamed crater (referred to as b36).
