We studied the morphology of two brightest members of the nearby NGC 697 group of galaxies, and found evidence of satellite accretion onto the primary galaxy NGC 697 of the group as well as outer and inner irregularities of the only early-type galaxy NGC 680 of the group, which are probably shaped by recent dry merging event(s).
