MARS RECONNAISSANCE ORBITER HIRISE IMAGES
May 30, 2012

o Near the Mouth of Morava Valles	
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_026007_1640

  Morava Valles drained Ladon Basin and discharged towards the large 
  regions of chaotic terrain near the head of Ares Valles.

o Landforms Near Grota Valles	
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_026356_1960

  The landforms in this observation are quite diverse with surrounding 
  terrain that has been eroded by some fluid, either water or lava.

o Streamlined Hills in Elysium Planitia	
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_026435_1960

  In this location, the cover of wind-blown sand and the effect of many 
  small impact craters has erased such obvious indicators of lava.

o Different Materials Exposed along a Wallrock Slope in Coprates Chasma

  The bright massive rocks exposed in the wallrock likely represent 
  weathered rocks that have altered to this brighter material.
