| His Dark Layers
This wonderful images shows us a nice exposure of stacks of dark layers exposed inside an impact crater in Arabia Terra. Our science goal is to see the layering at the highest resolution, along with what we can learn from a 3D image. The battered region of Arabia Terra is among the oldest terrain on Mars. A dense patchwork of craters from countless impacts testifies to the landscape’s ancient age, dating back billions of years. |
| Fine Layer Deformation
This observation shows us an unusually good surface outcrop of fine-scale layering and/or deformation structures in a lobate debris apron. High-resolution imaging and stereo will enable detailed characterization of the layering of this deposit, and influence of flow deformation. | 
| An Icy Scarp in the Southern Mid-latitudes
Similar scarps in the same region are known to expose water ice that extends to within a couple meters of the surface. | 
| Layering in Arabia Terra
Arabia Terra never fails to amaze: this observation shows exquisite layering that offers us a chance for a stereo pair in order to create a digital terrain model. These tools at full resolution can help us measure the bed thickness of these layers. | 
| Layers in Hydraotes Chaos
Also visible in Context Camera data, the objective of this observation is to examine layers in Hydraotes Chaos. Hydraotes is what geologists label as “chaotic terrain.” It’s recognizable by a jumbled collection of mesas, buttes, and hills, chopped through with valleys which in places look almost patterned. Chaotic terrain occurs in numerous locations on Mars and maybe unique there. |
