MARS RECONNAISSANCE ORBITER HIRISE IMAGES

o Dunes and Wind Streaks in Arabia Terra	
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_037714_1935

  Arabia Terra is one where ever-falling red dust covers 
  the surface with minor variations in color and tone.

o Braided TARs in Syrtis Major	
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_038227_2020

  Transverse aeolian ridges (TARs) are commonly found 
  throughout the Martian tropics, including rocky regions  
  such as Syrtis Major.

o An Enigmatic Feature in Athabasca Lava Flows	
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_038646_1805

  Perhaps lava has intruded underneath this mound and pushed 
  it up from beneath.  

o Clays along the Coprates Chasma Plateau	
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_038918_1650

  Several of the deposits along the plateau have signatures of 
  clays, which indicates that water was once here.
