MARS RECONNAISSANCE ORBITER HIRISE IMAGES
July 7, 2011
o Distal Margin of the Bacolor Crater Ejecta Layer
http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_020305_2125
In some cases the ejecta has a flow-like edge, which might
be related to subsurface water or ice being incorporated into
the ejecta.
o Eroded Crater Deposit in the Eastern Arabia Region
http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_020334_2065
One possible cause of this type of degradation could be loss
of ice from the surface material.
o Fan-Shaped Deposit in Valles Marineris Trough
http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_022949_1650
The fan itself shows many layers, each likely corresponding
to a different episode in the history of the system.
