50 km west-southwest of Richat and centred at latitude 210°'N and longitude 1105°'W, has a diameter of 5 km. Although the style of deformation is similar to that of Richat, Semsiyat is barely detectable on the ground. The structure lies on the Chinguetti Plateau and has only a few meters of topographic relief. Strata dip so slightly that field measurement is difficult. Exposures are poor, and the rocks are extremely weathered. No evidence of shock metamorphism has been discovered at Semsiyat, like Richat, it is believed to be a dome of endogenic origin.
