Stratigraphic Relations in Scalloped Terrain

Stratigraphic Relations in Scalloped Terrain

Stratigraphic Relations in Scalloped Terrain

This footprint should capture the transition from the ridges to a more uniform blanket of scallop-hosting material, typical of most of what we see in Utopia Planitia.
