  This image shows flow features on the inner slope of an impact 
  crater east of the Hellas impact basin.

o Layers of Water-Deposited Sediment

  These layers have a morphology similar to that seen elsewhere on 
  Mars in obvious alluvial fans where channels emerge into craters.

o Slope Streak Stripes on Crater Walls

  Slope streaks are common features on steep slopes in Mars' dusty 
  terrain, but this crater is a particularly dramatic example.

o The Serpent Dust Devil of Mars

  A towering dust devil casts a serpentine shadow over the Martian 
  surface in this image in Amazonis Planitia.
