Curiosity: Closeup on Mt. Shields layers

Posted on May 4, 2015 by rburnham

Sol 974, May 3, 2015. The MAHLI camera shot an overlapping series of closeup images on the Mt. Shields outcrop. Thinly layered resistant beds alternate with more easily eroded ones in a pattern suggesting repetitive deposition. Some cross-bedding is also … Continue reading →

HiRISE: Layers and dark dunes

Posted on April 10, 2015 by rburnham

The target of this observation is a circular depression in a dark-toned unit associated with a field of cones to the northeast. At the image scale of a Context Camera image, the depression appears to expose layers especially on the … Continue reading →

HiRISE: Sinuous ridge materials in Reuyl Crater

Posted on April 10, 2015 by rburnham

There are some interesting erosional signs in this observation, which will make for a good comparison with other intracrater fans and fluvial sedimentary landforms. We can also see an inverted channel system, possibly ponded toward the southwest. As we’ve learned … Continue reading →
