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.
