HiRISE: Alluvial fans in NE Mojave Crater
Alluvial fans in northeastern Mojave Crater. Mojave Crater is a perennial favorite of ours for the clear signs of these alluvial fans that might indicate it once rained on Mars a very long time ago. Beautiful Mars series. [More at links]

HiRISE: Boulder festival in Masursky Crater
This image covers part of the chaotic terrain in Masursky Crater, and was targeted due to evidence that ejecta from Mojave Crater—to the south—may have modified the landscape. Mojave Crater may be the most recent large (more than 50-kilometer wide) … Continue reading

HiRISE: Alluvial fans in Mojave Crater
Stereo data from an anaglyph (or 3D) image shows that the landscape in this observation is pervasively eroded, right up to the tops of the ridges, with channels extending down into depositional fans much like alluvial fans in the Mojave … Continue reading

HiRISE: Sedimentary fans north of Mojave Crater
In this observation, does the morphology of these possible sedimentary fans match those found in Mojave Crater? A high resolution image can be useful to determine systematic changes in boulder size (an indication of how much energy moved the sediment) … Continue reading
