Source of Stratified Fan Material in Southeast Baltisk Crater

A Source of Stratified Fan Material
This public suggestion from HiView requested an image to help determine the relationship between the crater wall and fan deposits on the crater floor. The stratified fan material in the southeast quadrant of Baltisk Crater may have its source in the wall where glacial landforms have been observed. Or, the stratified fan material could have been transported into the crater and prior to deposition.
