Sinuous Feature Connecting Two Flat-Topped Deposits in Wahoo Crater

Sinuous Feature Connecting Two Flat-Topped Deposits in Wahoo Crater

Snaking across Mars
Meanders on Mars are rare. When we do find them, they are useful because they constrain ancient paleodischarge. Is this one, and is it preserved as a sedimentary deposit? Finding lateral accretion deposits would also be particularly valuable. This scene is located in Wahoo Crater, named after a town in Nebraska.
