HiRISE: Semi-sinuous ridge and stratified material in Arabia Terra

tumblr_pdgljnBX9v1rlz4gso1_1280Semi-sinuous ridge and stratified material in Arabia Terra. Looks like inverted stream channels that contributed to a lake or pond, with stratified sedimentary rock units in the depression. Important imaging for understanding how to best distinguish cratered, erosion-resistant sedimentary rock units from volcanic and impact melt rocks.

Beautiful Mars series. [More at links]
