Layered Bedrock
This un-named crater in southwestern Arabia Terra contains a treasure!
Layered sediments are the key to the puzzle of Martian history. They tell us about the conditions that existed when the sediments were deposited, and how they changed over time.
Detecting Olivine near Noachis Terra
This observation shows the bedrock on the floor of a crater near Noachis Terra. This crater is unique because it has been very well characterized as being olivine rich.
Sunken and Pitted Ejecta
The objective of this observation was to examine the edge of impact ejecta from a crater to the north-west of this area (north is up, west is to the left).
