  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_023335_1560

  This image shows a small light-toned exposure of rock on the plains 
  of Terra Sirenum, in a heavily cratered region of the Southern 
  hemisphere of Mars.

o Clay Minerals Near Mawrth Vallis

  This particular image is part of a collection of observations to 
  support assessment of potential future rover landing sites.

o A Crater with a Surrounding Bench	
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_023593_1845

  The crater's original rim appears to have been eroded, mainly above 
  a resistant layer.

o Small Mid-Latitude Crater	
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_030916_1250
  
  Although this crater looks fresh, it is already showing signs that 
  it is being filled in and eroded.
