Mountainside and rocky plain, crater-wall and valley floor, alike and innumerably were pockmarked with sub-craters and with immensely yawning shell-holes, as though the whole planet had been throughout geologic ages the target of an incessant cosmic bombardment. ❋ Smith, E. E. (1950)
Jones pointed there in the shadow of the crater-wall, and Babs moved to the switch he indicated. ❋ Murray Leinster (1935)
To say that a crater - wall is two thousand feet high is to say just precisely that it is two thousand feet high; but there is a vast deal more to that crater-wall than a mere statistic. ❋ Unknown (1913)
Here was pasturage for the horses, but no water, and first we turned aside and picked our way across a mile of lava to a known water-hole in a crevice in the crater-wall. ❋ Unknown (1913)
On the south side, and partly also on the east, the crater-wall has been broken down and removed; the portion remaining is about 1-1/2 mile in diameter from east to west, and reaches a height of 2,600 feet above the sea-level. ❋ Charles Davison (1899)
Apparently the water came down from the "bubble" through a rift in the crater-wall. ❋ Chase [Illustrator] Emerson (1887)
This seemed to be all he wanted, for, having examined the result of his work and satisfied himself apparently that the sacks were perfectly concealed, he turned and went straight off up the crater-wall again, pausing at the crest for a minute to inspect the country ahead of him, and then, stepping over the rim, in another moment he had vanished. ❋ Chase [Illustrator] Emerson (1887)
Well, what we must do is to take the line marked out for us by the overflow, and following it from the channel down to the crack in the crater-wall, break up and throw aside all the rocks that get in the way; then cut a new channel and send the whole stream off through the crack, when it will pour into the cañon, run across the ranch on the surface, and the ❋ Chase [Illustrator] Emerson (1887)
Peeping between the stones, I saw, not fifty yards away, a man coming carefully down the crater-wall on the side opposite from that by which we ourselves had entered. ❋ Chase [Illustrator] Emerson (1887)

While on the summit of the crater-wall, he had seen two or three places where it had struck him sweet-potatoes and beans might be made to grow, and he determined to ascend to those spots, and make his essay there, as being the most removed from the inroads of the pigs. ❋ James Fenimore Cooper (1820)
Mark now ascended the crater-wall with a pick on his shoulder, and a part of a coil of ratlin-stuff around his neck. ❋ James Fenimore Cooper (1820)
-- Differences in the shape and size of various erosional / depositional features can be explained by differences in crater-wall slopes, local topography and orientation. ❋ Unknown (2009)
