o Shapes and Gullies
http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_021491_1440
This crater is situated on the rim of a much larger crater
in Terra Cimmeria, located in the Southern highland region of Mars.
o Rhythmic Stratigraphy
http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_021523_1825
This observation represents a particularly good exposure of rhythmic
stratigraphy within a crater in southern Arabia Terra.
o Lots of Layers in Terby Crater
http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_021942_1520
Terby Crater is interesting to scientists because of its apparent
modification by liquid water.
